has anybody found tourettes affecting their memory ?
I do have memory problems, short term mainly, but I couldn't say if that was specifically because of Tourettes. I also have Aspergers, ADHD, OCD and depression so it could be quite a number of things!
thanks for your response i was asking because my husband is the 1 with TS and he seems to be getting worse with short term memory or retaining information he does have some OCDs but doesnt suffer with anything else thank goodness. I do hope your depression gets better that must be the worst part keep your chin up and thanks again
How old is your husband? I am 35 and had TS since I was a child.
I have a memory like a seive! My short term memory is really bad at the moment, I have to constantly write lists, I walk into a room and I forget why I'm there! Luckily I'm a creature of habit so the village shopkeeper helps me remember what I need to buy. My poor memory does cause quite a few rows and I do feel quite open to manipulation because of it.
My son has TS &OCD and can be quite disorganised & forgetful at times, but we've recently found out that people with neurodevelopmental disorders can be quite susceptible to having weakness with executive skills (basically, the ability to organise & plan ahead). Fortunately, these skills can be learned. However, if your husband hasn't always been forgetful depression could be a cause; or any recent medication changes?
Yep, I'm on some quite hardcore anti-depressants.
Sieve based memory for me! Been told it's because of some of the comorbid stuff...and also stress!
as far as i know, most if not all of us TS'ers have memory trouble, especially for directions and conversations. although mine have been made worse by the citalopram which i am now slowly coming off.
I have yes
