Forgetful

Introduction Forgetfulness refers to the symptoms of poor memory and easy to forget. Due to the loss of heart and spleen, the lack of old age, or obstruction. It is common in brain-based diseases such as divine labor, brain wilting, head injuries, and poisoning.

Cause

The causes of amnesia are diverse. The most important cause is age. Recently, the incidence of amnesia is younger, but older people over the age of 40 are more likely to develop amnesia than younger people. The best memory of a person appears around the age of twenty, and then the function of the brain begins to decline. The memory begins to decline gradually around the age of twenty-five. The older the memory, the lower the memory, so people in their twenties and thirties are It is not a strange thing to be troubled by amnesia. In addition, the occurrence of amnesia has its external causes, and sustained stress and tension can cause fatigue in brain cells and worsen amnesia. Excessive smoking, alcohol consumption, lack of vitamins, etc. can cause temporary memory deterioration. Recently, experts have also begun to notice that psychological factors can also have an impact on the formation of amnesia. Many patients with amnesia who come to the hospital for treatment have symptoms of depression. Once a person falls into depression, he will stubbornly focus on depression itself and be indifferent to people and things in society, so the brain's activity is low and induces amnesia.

From the perspective of Chinese medicine, amnesia is caused by the inability to release the gas evenly. The so-called lack of gas. Due to lack of gas to the brain, the amount of blood in the brain is reduced, resulting in memory loss. Women with a gestation experience have more experience. According to statistics, women account for 60% of amnesia patients, and more than 80% of housewives have amnesia experience.
