Seeing through the brain fog

Excerpt: “Have you ever called someone you know a wrong name? Have you ever went into a room and forgot what you were in there for? Are you just not a mentally sharp as you once were? Or feel like you have a lot of “brain farts” or forgetful moments? You are not alone.

Brain fog is a general word used to describe symptoms that make it hard to focus, think clearly or concentrate. Brain fog can present differently in everyone, but there are various symptoms that can overlap.

Brain fog can cause memory problems where people have trouble recalling names or difficulty remembering things. It can make it challenging to focus or concentrate, or even find the right word to express thoughts or feelings. It can even make you feel like your thoughts are moving slowly or processing slowly.

Brain fog can also make you mentally exhausted and drained, even with little mental exertion.

There are multiple factors that can contribute to, or cause brain fog. Some of the most common causes of brain fog are lack of sleep or sleep deprivation, chronic stress, mental health problems like anxiety or depression, autoimmune diseases like lupus or fibromyalgia, fluctuations in blood sugar from diabetes or low blood sugar, medication side effects, nutrition deficiencies, thyroid disease, long COVID or even post-concussion syndrome.”
