AMNESIA
Amnesia is the partial or total loss of memory, usually caused by brain injury or shock. It's a phenomenon that has captured the public's imagination for years, and is frequently used as a storyline in movies, books, and TV soap operas. In the imaginary world of soaps, it's an ordinary sickness that is easily overcome. But in reality, amnesia is a devastating disorder. This condition can take place for a variety of reasons. Medical investigation is needed in order to identify the root cause of the condition for each individual. If the condition is not treated, it may cause partial or total forgetfulness and turn the person's life upside down. It may even reduce a person's reality to a perpetual present, with no future and no past. Neuropsychologists say that stress, trauma, and anxiety can cause amnesia.
This condition can happen to anyone at any time. As Amy Stevens says: "I had my life all figured out-I was all set. I was driving along, when suddenly all my past was erased from my mind." Amy didn't recognize her husband and her children, and she couldn't remember either her friends or members of the community. She had no school memories, and no recollections of what she had done previously. So Amy had to adjust to a new life. Fortunately, with treatment and the help of her family, Amy recovered her memory. However, some people are not that lucky. A middle-aged man came out of a park in Seattle, in the U.S., stopped a passing car, and said to the driver: "I don't know who I am, and what city I am in." He had no ID and was carrying $8600 in his sock. A local newspaper published his photo in print and online, and an English teacher in identified Shanghai him as Edward Lightheart. Letters came in from different parts of the world confirming that Dr. Lightheart was in fac an international public relations consulta B the world traveler, who spoke four languages. idea how he had achieved He remembered being married to a woman in Europe named Tina, who had died, and he wore her ring and his on his finger. Doctor said he was suffering from dissociative amnesia: he could remember loose bits of information. He was able to connect with his sister, but his memory of many events in his past was more or less lost.
One other story that got international att was that of Philip Staufen. The name"Phillip Staufen" is actually the name of a medieval German king, but it was the first name that came to the man's mind when he awoke with amnesia in a Toronto hospital. Staufen was in his twenties and had a British accent. He had been mugged, and his wallet along with all his documents had been stolen. His photo and fingerprints circulated around the world, but nothing came back. Eight years later journalists discovered that"Staufen" was actually Ciprian Skeid, a con man from Romania.
