There are two types of memory loss: short-term memory loss and long-term memory loss. Both are key aspects of memory health.
Short-term memory loss is common in adults aged 65-74 years, and occurs when the brain has reached its natural capacity to store short-term memories. Our brains are less able to store new information, which leads to the common memory lapses.
But adults of all ages can experience memory concerns, including related to mental health issues like anxiety and burnout.
