What is Amnesia?
8. Stress
As mentioned, stress can lead to a condition known as associative amnesia. Stress in itself is not necessarily a bad thing; problems arise when the patient can experience excess and prolonged periods of stress. Alternatively, intense but short-lived experiences can also be a problem.
If you are having difficulty dealing with stress then you should try and speak with a professional as the condition can cause some very serious problems if it is not addressed. In addition, somebody that has undergone a severely traumatic experience should also seek professional help. Speaking with a professional about your problems can help to give you the tools you need to handle them.
