Doctor: Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.I understand that you have been facing a lot of difficulties regaring your memory and learning. It is very difficult to pin point a diagnosis without a detailed evaluation. But with the brief history of your symptoms, it is possible that you could be having a learning disability.I would advise you consult a psychiatrist to have a detailed evaluation of your problems, in order to arrive at a diagnosis. Further management needs to be be planned according to the diagnosis, and the nature and severity of your problems.Wish you all the best.Regards,Dr. Jonas SundarakumarConsultant Psychiatrist
