I am experiencing exactly this, and I have been reflecting over how it got worse recently. Can't say I process an insane amount of information, though. Could it

  Probably not, but there are plenty of potential neurological illnesses, so if you feel that you're having memory problems you should definitely take time to see a doctor. They'd likely start with blood tests and some cognitive tests, and if they agree there are problematic results, they'd probably order an MRI, CT, or PET scan, or a combination of them. When it comes to Alzheimer's specifically, less than 10% of cases are early-onset (where it is diagnosed before 65), and it's very rare for it to be diagnosed under the age of 50. My mother was diagnosed with it at 53, and there weren't really any symptoms until she hit 50. She was 52 when she had to stop working, and even then her doctors weren't willing to conclusively diagnose Alzheimer's until the next year. She passed away this year, about a week after her 62nd birthday.
