Frankie Muniz might be struggling to remember certain memories from the past, but that did not stop him to pursue his dreams and to live his life to the fullest with the help of his loved ones. In the recent episode of "Dancing With The Stars," the actor-musician opened up about how his memory was affected by his mental health issues.
The 31-year-old star admitted he had "nine concussions and a fair amount mini-strokes" before he realized his struggle to remember certain events and experiences. Frankie Muniz, however, is still unsure if these episodes have contributed to his memory loss.
