AMNESIA (Loss Of Memory)
Amnesia is memory loss. Head injury, stroke, brain inflammation, or medical problems may cause it. Short-term or long-term amnesia may be transitory or permanent.
Amnesia has two major types:
Retrograde amnesia: A person cannot remember events that happened before the amnesia. A brain injury may cause a person to forget events from weeks or months before.
Anterograde amnesia: A person cannot develop new memories once amnesia begins. For instance, a brain injury victim may recall events before the injury but not after.
Medication or counseling may treat amnesia, depending on the reason. Memory loss may be temporary or permanent.
Amnesia may have serious consequences, including:
Difficulty with everyday activities: Amnesia may make it hard to recall crucial information like appointments, names, and locations, which might hinder daily activities.
Strained relationships: Because of amnesia, family, friends, and coworkers may not recall significant events or discussions.
Occupational issues: Amnesia may make it hard for people to do their jobs, especially if they have to memorize or follow instructions.
Anxiety depression: Amnesia may induce frustration, isolation, and overwhelm.
Amnesia patients need medical assistance to control their illness and avoid these problems. Many amnesia patients may improve their symptoms and quality of life with proper treatment. Vitamin treatment improves blood flow, and neurotherapy regenerates the neurological system. Neurotherapy improves attention and concentration.
