amnesic syndrome

Amnesic syndrome is a condition characterized by significant memory loss, affecting a person's ability to form new memories or recall past experiences. It often results from brain damage, which may occur due to injury, illness, or alcohol abuse. People with this syndrome may retain some skills and knowledge but struggle to remember recent events or learn new information. This condition can be frustrating and isolating, as individuals may not recognize loved ones or recall important details about their lives, despite having intact cognitive abilities in other areas. Treatment often focuses on rehabilitation and coping strategies.
