Can’t Understand Why

I’m crying a lot when talking about theories, other worlds, dimensions, ghosts, magic, spirits etc. and that problem was there my whole life. I change my opinions all the time e.g one day someone asked me about my opinion on god. Few days passed and I was asked the same question but the answer was different and it’s been on forever. I have trouble finding my talents, things I’m good at and jobs I could do. I also change my mood frequently e.g one minute I feel happy then other thoughts come to my mind and make me sad. About 1 year ago I started forgetting simple things I have said or done. I used to have very good memory, remembered and noticed details. I need to know is this some kind of disorder or trouble with stress of some kind.

Thanks for coming to us about these symptoms. I would start with a general physical because of the memory issue. Many things can cause this—and ruling out a physical or medical cause is important. The physician can then advise you about the course of treatment from there.

If it is something medical he or she can make a recommendation about interventions. If it is psychological the physician can refer you to a qualified professional who can help.

If you’ve notice the symptoms getting worse I’d make this appointment sooner rather than later.

Wishing you patience and peace,
Dr. Dan

Brain Memory Loss

So, for the past couple of months I noticed that my brain is doing some weird stuff. Whenever I’m home or out my brain memory goes from moment to moment and I can’t remember everything that I’ve done in the past 3 4 hours. And now sometimes when I want to see something on my phone the time until I take it out of my pocket i will forget. So the question really is. Maybe this causes weed because I smoke. Maybe It’s bacterial meningitis because I noticed some of the symptoms like two months ago.

It’s not clear why you think that you could have bacterial meningitis. You also mentioned smoking marijuana. When you’re high, you are not thinking clearly. It affects your brain functioning and can cause other problems.

Some studies suggest that marijuana affects memory and other cognitive abilities. Adolescent marijuana use is associated with increased rates of psychosis, and other negative outcomes. It’s dangerous to use illicit drugs, especially during adolescence, when the brain is still developing.

I would strongly advise against continued use of marijuana. It would also be wise to consult a physician. They’ll evaluate your symptoms, determine if there a problem and make the appropriate recommendations. Good luck.
