I feel I am losing my memory gradually, why is it for? is there any cure for that?

Question:

I am a teacher 50 years old, in the recent years I feel gradually that my memory is not good as before. some time I cant recall my old freinds name. or where did I put my stuff. memorizing a telephone number is getting difficult and I forget many of daily task during the day. One thing that is very strange is to me is that sometimes my mind, eyes, and body are not acting in accordance with each other for doing job. for example when I go up through the stairs, after first step, saddenly I put my foot on the third step instead of the 2nd. This is very dengerous because you might be crashed and injoured. the other example, in dialing a number, after dieling the 2nd digit, my mind jumps to the 4th. digits instead of the 3rd. and it is funny; because you will get the wrong number each time. I think I miss some sequences between the entire task and jump one stage forward. in a mistake dialing a number, you can redial it again. but if you miss a stair you might lose your life. help me plse.

Answers:
the things you are talking about is not kind of dementia syndrome (disease). People say that it's dementia (alzheimer's disease) but this is not compatible with dementia at all. it's just lack of concentration. but lack of concentration may have differing reasons. you may have experienced more stress in recent months/years. if so you need to find a way around your stress. you may. You may have problems with sleep. You might have anxiety just because of an external but permanent cause. depression is another probable thing to think of.
you need to visit a psychologist at this point and share with him your problem. but you may want to eliminate a more proximal source of problem like what i briefly listed for you first and try to restore your concentration and get rid of flighting ideas.
i hope it works for you
good luck
