Answers:
Long term memory or short and how severe is it!?
As to stress, yes!. Long term (chronic) stress causes over-secretion of hormones that affect memory!.
"Stress and Memory
Chronic over-secretion of stress hormones adversely affects brain function, especially memory!. Too much cortisol can prevent the brain from laying down a new memory, or from accessing already existing memories!.

The renowned brain researcher, Robert M!. Sapolsky, has shown that sustained stress can damage the hippocampus , the part of the limbic brain which is central to learning and memory!. The culprits are "glucocorticoids," a class of steroid hormones secreted from the adrenal glands during stress!. They are more commonly know as corticosteroids or cortisol !.

During a perceived threat, the adrenal glands immediately release adrenalin!. If the threat is severe or still persists after a couple of minutes, the adrenals then release cortisol!. Once in the brain cortisol remains much longer than adrenalin, where it continues to affect brain cells!."Www@Answer-Health@Com

*Forgetting things much more often than you used to

Trouble learning new things
*Repeating phrases or stories in the same conversation
Trouble making choices or handling money
