Amnesia - Who Are You?

We all get emotionally upset from time to time.we feel hurt, angry, disappointed or frightened for one reason or the another. When we feel such emotional pain, we want to do something about it. In fact these reactions happen without our control. They are considered normal reactions, since practically everyone has them.

But a person may react to emotional stress and pain in another way. Instead of facing the problems that caused him to be upset, he tries to act in such a way that he won’t feel the anxiety. He “runs away” from it. He “protects” himself in this way from emotional pain. One form of this reaction is amnesia.

Sometimes a person recovers from amnesia suddenly, of his own accord. in many cases, however, a person can be helped to recover by a psychiatrist. A curious thing is that people who recover from amnesia don’t remember events which took place while they were suffering from amnesia.
