Is There A Cure For Brain Fog?
Your Family|August 2019

Brain Fog can be particularly concerning for usually sharp-minded individuals, who suddenly find their days disrupted by confusion and memory loss. Is it reversible?

Is There A Cure For Brain Fog?

WHAT IS IT?

What makes understanding thisailment more complex is that brain fog isn’t technically a medical condition at all, but rather a symptom of other conditions. It can last anything from minutes to years, making people feel disorientated, confused and generally mentally slower than they’re used to. If you’ve ever had a spate of entering rooms and forgetting why, going blank on the directions to a place you regularly drive to, or being uncharacteristically unable to focus, you may be experiencing this unpleasant symptom. Brain fog can be quite alarming, often leaving sufferers wondering whether they’re developing dementia or some other cognitive disorder, which isn’t necessarily the case. It usually manifests as:

Confusion and disorientation.

Difficulties with spatial awareness and information processing.

The awareness that your faculties of thought, understanding and memory aren’t functioning properly.
