pervasive amnesia

Pervasive amnesia is a severe form of memory loss where an individual cannot recall much of their personal history, identities, or past experiences across multiple areas. It often results from brain injury, neurological conditions, or psychiatric issues, and affects both recent and remote memories. People with this condition may seem disconnected from their life stories, making it difficult to recognize themselves or others and to function independently. While some memories may eventually recover, pervasive amnesia typically requires ongoing medical and psychological support to manage its impacts.
