Question: Do you remember if you have short term memory loss if you have it?

Debbie Kinsey answered on 18 Nov 2019:

That’s a good question! A lot of people have short term memory loss for all sorts of reasons but they usually do remember they have it (so use lots of strategies like writing themselves notes or getting people to help with certain tasks so they don’t miss appointments, for example).
But there are times when certain areas of the brain are damaged that people don’t have an awareness of their memory problems.
