‘Dissociative Amnesia’ Meet the Best Psychiatrists - Dr. Anuja Kelkar ( MBBS, MD)

 

 

Dissociative Amnesia is a psychological condition characterized by profound memory loss, typically triggered by a traumatic or stressful event. Individuals with this disorder are unable to recall important personal information, often related to the traumatic incident, despite no apparent physical injury or neurological impairment. The amnesia can be selective, focusing on specific events, or generalized, affecting one's entire identity.

 This memory loss is considered a defence mechanism, shielding the individual from the emotional impact of the distressing experience. Treatment involves psychotherapy, particularly approaches that help individuals process and integrate the underlying trauma. Creating a supportive therapeutic environment is crucial for recovery. While dissociative amnesia can be debilitating, with proper intervention, individuals often experience improvement in memory function and overall psychological well-being.
