Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for your query. I understand that you are going through a difficult time due to your memory problems. Now, memory difficulties in a young person can be due to a variety of reasons like stress, anxiety, excessive workload, depression, etc. It is difficult to drive at a diagnosis without a detailed history and psychological assessment. Hence, I would suggest that you see a psychiatrist in your place for a detailed evaluation and to decide on the further course of action. There are effective strategies which can help you overcome your problem, so please seek professional help at the earliest. Wish you all the best.
