human
I am a 45 yr old male and last summer i noticed that i am  occasionaly forgetting easy things  for example  3 seperate times last summer and forgot to put the mower deck down .  Since about November 2013 this has picked up in frequency and now At times i am forgetting things at work or Not doing things right . also i find myself slurring my words at times and really having to think about what i want to converse in a sentence . I know i need to get into see a Doctor but i don't know what type of doctor i should see  a neurologist or a psycholgist  or a general MD . I also find myself at times living in a fog .  What is your advice ???

HIThanks for using healthcare magicForgetful at age of 45 years may be due to dementia or underline depression. In dementia usually happens in later age and patient would not able to accept his problem, only his family member or friends make him realize about the problem. In case of depression, patient would able to realize about the forgetfulness. Same thing may be with you. I would suggest you to consult a psychiatrist to rule out underline depression. Thanks
