Question:

Does my boyfriend have brain damage because of drugs???

he used to smoke "weed"and i dont know what else! i met him when we were in 10th grade and he doesnt like telling me what else he did..anyway sorry to say this but sometimes he acts a little retarded. He forgets things on a daily basis... he forgot his car keys inside the car 6 times already this year...and today my car is locked because he forgot my keys inside!! he forgets his wallet. all the time! he doesnt think about complex things and he never analyzes stuff... he is a regular 21yrs old guy with a simple job and trying to study electricity...but his memory is horrible!!!! its to the point where people think weird about him... will he ever get better??? he is drug free now but what is wrong with him????


Answers:

yes he damaged a lot of brain cells at that age because they are still growing and that is a vital time in ones life not to do stuff like that. So he probably killed quite a bit of brain cells he doesn't sound severely brain damaged but slightly it could be worse many people have drug induced psychosis and really bad brain damage. He may want to check into seeing a therapist that works on memory techniques for people that have lost some of there memory esp short term. They do exercises and work on modifying habits in his life that will help him remember and set up triggers. Also get him involved in brain exercises like sudoku.
