Ok I'm only 22 years old & I'm really concerned about how awful my memory is? Ever since I was 19-20 I noticed my memory started to worsen. That's when I started taking psych meds actually. Now I'm off them I could not tolerate the side effects no more. I believe the culprits of my awful memory are the psych meds I took which screwed up my memory, Depression it's self can also affect your memory, & I don't have the best sleep hygiene so that can be a culprit as well. I'm a night owl I stay up late 3 am in morning. I usually obtain 3-4 hours poor sleep. So what can I do to improve my memory?
