1. Linh is a 21-year-old student at university who has recently been struggling with concentration and memory. Sometimes, she even forgets her class schedule. She studies in the mornings and works part-time in the afternoons at a convenience store. Linh frequently gets very little sleep due to her hectic schedule. Worried that her lack of focus might harm her studies and future plans, she visited a doctor. After examination, the doctor diagnosed her with anxiety and forgetfulness, which makes it hard for her to pay attention or remember things.
2. Similarly, Lan, a 38-year-old mother living in Ba Dinh District, noticed a sudden loss of focus after having her second child. [I] She became very forgetful and easily frustrated.

[IV] She was diagnosed with anxiety and postpartum forgetfulness and was given medicine and treatment to help her condition.
3. Professor Nguyen Trong Luu explains that many people today suffer from forgetfulness because of a fast-paced lifestyle and stress. The heavy use of technology and constant pressure on work make it harder for people to concentrate. He says that online communication is less effective than speaking face-to-face, and young people who multitask frequently risk losing their ability to focus and remember things properly.
4. Psychologist Nguyen Thi Tam adds that long-term stress and lack of sleep make forgetfulness worse in young adults. Poor sleep stops the brain from recovering, which can lead to serious problems like dementia. Many young people are overconfident about their health and ignore healthy habits.
