Hi doctor I am a student of class 12 preparing for IIT. For the past few months I have been facing a problem of forgetting things very easily. I can remember things for short term but it is very difficult for me to remember things for long term. I am facing a lot of problems because of this. I have been searching for a solution but have not found anything that really helps. Three months ago I consulted a psychiatrist but the medicine was not suitable for me as it caused shivering in my limbs. I have tried many exercises but nothing helps in the long run. I also try different methods of remembering things like visualization or linking information with events but it is very difficult to do every time. Please help me doctor. I shall be really grateful if I could get out of this situation. I am sharing my report of consultation with the psychiatrist please have a look at it?

stress and pressure can affect memory. Since previous meds did not suit you, a gentle re evaluation with a psychiatrist might help. You are brave for reaching out. Focused therapy and care can make a big difference.

My blood report on 18th May showed SGPT at 153 and SGOT at 59. A follow up report on 18th June shows SGPT at 90 and SGOT at 55. I currently do not have any symptoms except mild burning and tingling sensations in my feet and legs. How long it usually takes for these liver enzyme levels to return to normal?
