I have the same issues. I'm not sure what it's from. For myself it could be related to schizoaffective, the meds I'm on and have been on in the past, or possibly brain damage due to the severe lithium toxicity I ended up with several years ago with levels of 4.6. Or maybe it's all 3.

I'm 24 and since a couple years ago words come out wrong, I struggle verbally communicating ideas/thoughts from start to finish. I can watch a movie and 5 minutes later forget what I had been doing, then if I'm eventually able to remember I watched something, I forget any details, plot lines, etc immediately. I'm forgetting constantly, I mean it's ridiculous. I know that many people misplace things but I do it all day, I can set something down then look everywhere for it not knowing what I did with it even though I had it a few seconds or minutes ago, this happens upwards of 10 times a day maybe, sometimes more.

I can't remember what everyday objects are called sometimes. I know, but the word just won't come.

I also have the misspelling words problem, it's been happening frequently. Simple everyday words, all the sudden I can't remember how they're spelled.

Neither side of my family has a history of any form of dementia and I know I didn't have this issue several years ago.

I'm sorry you're struggling with this, it's hard to deal with

Right now I'm just trying to do crossword puzzles and doing what I can to keep my mind sharp and hopefully improve the issue
