Share Your Memory Problems Story

 Some people experience severe memory problems during their lifetime. Maybe it's disease-related, as from ADHD or Alzheimer's, or the result of a brain injury. Others were simply born with a bad memory.

This condition usually impacts their lives, and the lives of their family and friends, in a very significant way.

   
Wouldn't it be comforting to learn that someone else in the world knows just how you feel? Whether you have memory problems, or are a friend, caretaker, or family member, telling your story can help others as well as yourself.
