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. [II] One day, because she was distracted, she accidentally burned her baby with hot water. [III] Following this serious incident, Lan's husband took her to the hospital. [IV] She was diagnosed with anxiety and postpartum forgetfulness and was given medicine and treatment to help her condition.

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.

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. She advises them to pay attention to early signs of memory problems and to visit a doctor early. Proper care can help avoid serious effects caused by stress and sleep problems.
