Amnesia (from Greek Ἀμνησία) is a condition in which memory is disturbed or lost. Memory in this context refers either to stored memories or to the process of committing something to memory. The causes of amnesia have traditionally been divided into the "organic" or the "functional". Organic causes include damage to the brain, through physical injury, neurological disease or the use of certain (generally sedative) drugs. Functional causes are psychological factors, such as mental disorder, post-traumatic stress or, in psychoanalytic terms, defense mechanisms.People with amnesia have difficulty learning new information, and/or they have difficulty recalling previously learned information.

At what age does amnesia appear? Amnesia can occur at any age. How is amnesia diagnosed? A mental health professional will want to take a careful personal history. Causes...more

It is a serious medical and mental health disorder that is associated with many factors, including the balance of chemicals in the brain. Depression can manifest as a large variety of symptoms, most often feelings of sadness or despair that do not go away.
