What causes poor memory?

The causes of poor memory can be summarized as follows: 1. Lifestyle habits: Long-term late nights, insufficient sleep, irregular作息 (作息 should be translated as "作息" here to maintain the original meaning), excessive reliance on electronic devices without active thinking, and unhealthy lifestyle habits such as excessive smoking, alcohol consumption, and overuse of the brain can easily lead to excessive mental fatigue and dysfunction of brain activity, thereby causing a decline in memory. 2. Mental stress: Long-term high-pressure states, such as heavy workloads and emotional instability, can affect the brain's memory processing capacity. 3. Age factors: With aging, brain function gradually deteriorates, manifested as progressive memory loss. 4. Disease factors: Conditions such as depression, anxiety, and organic brain diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and cerebrovascular disease, can directly impair the brain's memory function. When experiencing poor memory, one should comprehensively consider personal lifestyle habits, emotional state, and age factors. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation.
