Anxiety conditions provoke strong, persistent feelings of worry and fear, often about things and situations you can’t change or control.
With anxiety, you might find yourself stuck in a cycle of nervousness and worry, unable to stop mentally running through dreaded potential outcomes. This anxiety loop can take up a lot of mental energy.
Many people find that this state of near-constant stress and hypervigilance takes a toll on their memory.
Anxiety-related memory loss can lead to more anxiety as you:
- are unable to recall key details at work or school
- forget things, like birthdays and other significant events, leading to tension or conflict in personal relationships
- have trouble remembering things that can make essential daily tasks, like driving, parenting, or cooking, easier (and safer)
Wondering why anxiety causes memory problems? Looking for tips to stop the cycle? You’ll find more details below.
