Causes of severe memory decline:
1. Physiological factors: Long-term sleep deprivation and reduced sleep quality can affect memory. In addition, as people age, brain function gradually declines, which can also lead to memory loss.
2. Psychological factors: Excessive mental stress, overanxiety, depression, and other emotional problems can significantly impact the memory center, resulting in memory impairment.
3. Nutritional factors: Malnutrition, particularly deficiencies in essential brain nutrients such as high-quality protein, unsaturated fatty acids, and vitamin B, as well as unhealthy eating habits, such as overeating and preference for heavily seasoned or spicy foods, may negatively affect memory.
4. Disease factors: Various diseases can cause severe memory decline, including neurological disorders and vascular diseases. These conditions can affect relevant areas of the brain, leading to impaired memory.
If symptoms persist, prompt medical attention is recommended.
