Experts claim – pandemic made memory slow

 

Have you been having trouble remembering dates, numbers and everyday tasks for some time now? If your answer is yes then you are not alone. In the last two years, the corona pandemic has weakened the memory of all of us. Experts believe that due to this, the problem of not being able to focus and forgetting important information is increasing in people.

We got used to not remembering anything in the pandemic

Speaking to CNN, Amir Humayun Jawadi, Senior Lecturer of Psychology at the University of Kent, UK, told that humans have a habit of adapting to situations. Since people haven't planned much in life for the last two years, they have become used to not doing these things now. People have learned to live this kind of life. This has had a negative effect on their memory and ability to concentrate.

According to Michael Yassa, professor of neurobiology at the University of California, memory does not mean simply taking a photo and remembering it. Memory is made by living a moment. It has become very difficult for people to make memories during the corona pandemic. There is nothing special in his life that can be remembered. So they have got used to not remembering anything.

Symptoms of brain fog coming even if there is no corona infection

Aamir says that people who did not get corona infection, brain fog has started due to being the same every day, not meeting people and lack of exercise. Brain fog is a condition that causes rapid changes in a person's behavior. Such people always have problems like fatigue, irritability, depression, headache, lack of interest in any work, sleeplessness and forgetting small things.
