Memory, reading and concentration problems

Post a new topicby calande on Mon Mar 03, 2008 11:01 am


Hello,

I have two serious problems: short-term and long term memory on the one hand; on the other hand: reading and concentrating. I'm 29 years-old. Actually I'm able to read for a few seconds understanding the meaning of the words, then, I keep reading thinking about either anything else, or thinking about nothing at all. I'm unable to read at loud and to think about the meaning of the text at the same time. I happen to have to read 4-5 times a sentence to be able to concentrate on its meaning. I can't concentrate on what I read. Basically, I read the words in my mind without concentrating on them and without seeing their meaning. I can read a whole page easily, thinking about something else, and having absolutely no idea about what the article is talking about.

Have you ever see such a case? Is it a know problem? Does it have a name? What physician should I get in touch with? Thank you very much for your attention and for your help.

Calande.
