Memory lapse and repeating the same word

Dr JM Wadhawan
Consultant Psychiatrist,
Sir Ganga Ram Hospital,
New Delhi

Q: One of my friend has the problem of memory lapse/repeating the same word for a few minutes. Subsequently, he underwent CT Scan & MRI which happen to be normal. Now the doctor has advised him to undergo TV Monitoring. Could you please guide us on this and also, if possible, where this could be done in Delhi?

A:I have gone through your symptoms and advise you to consult a psychiatrist locally to rule out any psychiatric cause before going in for TV monitoring as your CT Scan and MRI are normal.
