Memory Loss and Brain Fog

Memory loss and mild memory disturbances can be caused by many things. In its most severe forms, memory loss can be totally debilitating. Memory loss can be caused by a wide variety of conditions including Alzheimer's and other neurologic diseases. Hypothyroidism and iron deficiency are very common causes of memory loss.

The typical conventional approach is to focus on severe neurologic diseases such as Alzheimer's while working with a neurologist. Pharmaceutical agents are mildly beneficial for some of these conditions. In most cases, mild memory loss he is merely monitored.

Dr. Doyle's approach is to identify the cause of memory loss using clinical judgment and the best available tests. By addressing the underlying hormonal and nutritional factors that are well known to contribute to memory loss, many people find that their memories improve substantially or cease to decline. In addition to hypothyroidism and iron deficiency male and female hormones seem to also affect memory. Severe or persistent memory loss is generally referred to a neurologist for further evaluation.
