Forgetfulness refers to difficulty encoding, storing, or retrieving memories — the temporary or persistent inability to remember names, recent events, tasks, appointments, or information that was previously known. Occasional forgetfulness is a normal part of cognitive function, particularly when tired, stressed, or multitasking. Concerning forgetfulness is characterised by frequency, impact on daily functioning, and notably forgetting recently encoded information (rather than remote memories). Causes include sleep deprivation (which is among the most reliably reversible causes), stress and elevated cortisol, vitamin B12 deficiency, thyroid dysfunction, depression, ADHD, and, in older adults, early cognitive decline or dementia. Holistic practitioners prioritise sleep, nutritional assessment, stress reduction, and physical activity as foundational before investigating more complex causes.
