Sudden mental confusion during stressful situations??!
Question: Sudden mental confusion during stressful situations!?!?
i'm 18 and i've been getting episodes of sudden mental confusion that usually lasts for a minute or two but is a frightening and twisted experience every time!. When i'm really stressed out or too focused on something, it's like my brain shuts off and i don't know where i am or what's going on for a whole minute or longer!. i never had any trauma to my head or body or any diseases!. i'm very emotional though and easily stressed out most of my life, so is this a direct result of stress and should i be concerned!? this happens once or twice a month but does not go away for a couple years now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I've had that also!.!.!.it's scary but somewhat common!. It's a form of anxiety brought on by stress and you can have a temporary loss of memory and judgment!. You may want to tell your doctor about it because if you don't learn how to control it, it can become a bigger problem later in life!. It's more of a psychological issue though!.!.!.linked to anxiety!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
it could be something serious like a mental disorder, or it could just be something small that can go away when you reduce your stress!. there's only one way to make sure though, go see a doctor!. take my advice and go as soon as possible to see if you're diagnosed with something serious!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
