Scientists are not entirely sure why thyroid-related problems occur. Still, they believe hypothyroidism affects memory because thyroid hormones are essential for areas of the brain that are crucial for memory and cognitive abilities. People suffering from so-called brain fog often have problems with chronic fatigue, concentration, and focus.
They also often notice difficulties finding words and following the conversation threads during conversations. It happens that in people who complain of brain fog, it also manifests itself in memory problems, including, for example, problems with remembering names, surnames, or simple tasks to perform.
The above symptoms can significantly reduce the quality of everyday functioning in the professional and private sphere. In addition to the above symptoms, there may also be difficulties in processing information, slower than usual thinking, a sense of being overwhelmed by simple tasks, and regularly forgetting to do simple things, such as turning off the stove or closing the door.
