Mental fogginess - Renew Medical HRT Clinic

What is Mental Fogginess?

Mental fogginess refers to feelings of fuzzy thinking, haziness, or lack of mental clarity and sharpness. Some common symptoms include:

• Forgetfulness - difficulty remembering details or recalling conversations
• Lack of focus and concentration - trouble staying on task or paying attention
• Cloudy thinking - thoughts feel vague or not fully formed
• Slow processing speed - taking longer to understand information or instructions

Causes of Mental Fogginess

There are many potential causes of mental fogginess, including:

• Stress - high cortisol can impair cognition
• Poor sleep - lack of quality sleep disrupts memory and thinking
• Nutrient deficiencies - low vitamins, minerals, omega-3s
• Depression or anxiety
• Medications - some prescription drugs
• Hormonal changes - perimenopause, menopause, low testosterone
• Chronic health conditions - thyroid disorders, inflammation
