I've had some short term memory issues (I'm 51) that seem to, more than not, be attributed to working from home during COVID. As we're coming out of it, I see it gradually diminishing with the hopes of doing new things, getting out of the house, and doing 'a little more now rather than waiting for an eventuality that might never happen.' I think it's a combination of a lack of stimuli, anxiety with work (I'm far from alone in our local employment where folks are underutilized and 'waiting to proceed', and a rut between the bed, the couch and the home office. I was (and am) getting exercise, but there needs to be more than that to continue to be mentally happy. I think some of it was a psychological over-attribution to normal forgetfulness...people forget things...older people can proportionally forget more things...it's not [necessarily] early onset dementia, not during a pandemic.
