Symptom #3: Short Term Memory Loss
Short term memory loss is known as amnesia. It is a deficit in one’s memory that occurs when there is brain damage, psychological trauma, or disease. Transient, or temporary, amnesia can be caused by sedatives and hypnotic drugs. Depending on the extent of damage, the memory loss can be whole or partial.
There are two main types of amnesia: anterograde amnesia, which is an inability to transfer new information from short to long term memory, and retrograde amnesia, which is an inability to retrieve previous information or older memories.
