Memory impairments

Memory impairments refer to difficulties in storing, retaining, or recalling information. They can result from brain injuries, illnesses like Alzheimer's, or other neurological conditions. These impairments may cause a person to forget recent events, lose track of important details, or struggle to recognize familiar people or places. The severity and type vary, affecting short-term or long-term memory differently. Overall, memory impairments can impact daily functioning and independence but can sometimes be managed with medical treatment, therapy, or support strategies.
