Amnesia Treatment and How to get rid of Amnesia - By: dr. sarkozy mikal

Amnesia is a profound memory loss which is usually caused either by physical injury to the brain or by the ingestion of a toxic substance which affects the brain. In addition, the memory loss can be caused by a traumatic, emotional event.

Amnesia refers to loss of memory and is often the result of a traumatic event. There are two basic types of amnesia: anterograde and retrograde. Retrograde amnesia is a loss of memory that occurs before the time of the event.

or example, you forget something that happened before you got hit on the head. Anterograde amnesia is a loss of memory that occurs after the time of the event, such as forgetting something that happened after having surgery.

Contrary to popular opinion, anterograde amnesia is probably more common. Most people with amnesia experience a loss related to specific time periods.

The causes of amnesia are organic or functional.
Organic causes include damage to the brain, through trauma or disease, or use of certain (generally sedative) drugs.

Functional causes are psychological factors, such as defense mechanisms.

It is the general belief that as you age, your brain starts shrinking and thus it is difficult to remember names, words or at times even your own personal details. But new research has shown that human brain continues to grow in ways not thought possible even when you age.

Neurons, the brain cells responsible for processing information do not die with age but just grow smaller. These smaller neurons do not function as efficiently as the larger ones. But it is possible to regrow or retrain them normally.
