Hi all,

My name is Janice and I usually post over at the Parkinson's Group.

My brother was recently diagonses with Bipolar Disorder and is on Lithium.

He has been having issues with "short term" memory. He forgets what he is talking about in the middle of talking or someone will tell him something and then a few minutes later he can't remember what they said.

Do any of you know if this is a symptom of the disorder or a side effect of the medication? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Janice
