Amnesia refers to severe memory loss. It may be a symptom of another disease, or it may occur independently. This is different from forgetfulness, where you lose your keys or forget to do something. People with amnesia cannot remember important events or details in their lives.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are two main types of amnesia. Retrospective amnesia is the inability to remember events that occurred before the time that caused the amnesia. On the other hand, anterograde amnesia prevents the formation of new memories, but the person can still remember events prior to the point in time that caused the amnesia.
In addition, there are post-traumatic amnesia that occurs after an injury, transient complete amnesia that usually lasts less than 24 hours, infantile amnesia that does not remember events from infancy, and dissociative amnesia that occurs due to psychological causes without brain abnormalities.
There are various causes of amnesia, but according to the Cleveland Clinic, they can be broadly divided into two types: neurological causes and psychological causes. Neurological causes are related to brain damage or abnormalities in brain activity. Possible causes include alcoholism, Alzheimer’s disease, cerebral aneurysm, brain tumor, cerebral hypoxia, drugs, epilepsy, head injury, infection, degenerative brain disease, stroke, toxins and poisons, transient complete amnesia, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (long-term Severe vitamin B1 deficiency caused by alcohol consumption).
Amnesia can also occur in association with mental health problems, such as dissociative disorders (particularly dissociative amnesia) and post-traumatic stress disorder. It is usually associated with a traumatic event or severe mental or emotional distress. It is presumed that this occurs as the brain tries to protect itself from psychological damage.
