What is
Dissociative Amnesia?

Dissociative Amnesia is a mental health issue that can impact individuals in different ways. Understanding and addressing it through therapy can lead to improved well-being and quality of life.

What Is It?

Dissociative Amnesia is a condition where a person is unable to recall important personal information, usually related to trauma or stress. This memory loss goes beyond normal forgetfulness and is not due to a medical condition or brain injury.

Common Experiences

Individuals may suddenly forget significant events, personal history, or even their identity. This memory gap can last minutes, hours, or longer, and often arises after distressing experiences. People might be unaware of the amnesia until others point it out or memories resurface.

How It Can Affect You

Dissociative Amnesia can disrupt daily life, relationships, and self-understanding. It may cause confusion, anxiety, or identity struggles. Some people experience repeated episodes, while others have a single event. Treatment often includes therapy to explore underlying trauma and safely recover lost memories.
