reminds

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'doesn't let one forget about and is disturbed by' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'let one forget about and is disturbed by' is the wordplay.
'let one' becomes 'rem' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'forget' suggests deleting specific letters.
'about' becomes 'a' (abbreviation in Chambers).
'disturbed by' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'and' with 'a' removed is 'nd'.
'nd' inserted inside 'is' is 'inds'.
'rem'+'inds'='REMINDS'
