  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/21455-amnesia

  Amnesia is when you have significant memory loss. Treating the underlying cause may reverse it, but some causes are permanent. Amnesia is when you have serious memory loss. It can be a symptom of other conditions or happen by itself. Amnesia involves being unable to remember significant events or details from your life. People with amnesia may not understand what’s happening to them. They might not be able to make informed choices about their medical care. In those cases, a loved one with the authority to do so may need to make decisions for them. Cognitive rehabilitation and occupational therapy may also help some with memory loss. These types of therapies can teach you skills and techniques to help you compensate for any loss of memory or related abilities. People with amnesia from degenerative brain diseases or who have anterograde amnesia (and can’t form or store new memories) usually need support or medical care 24/7 (like with family members or in a skilled nursing facility). If you have memory loss that begins and develops slowly, you might not be able to recognize it in yourself. It’s more likely that a loved one will notice it first. If a loved one needs more care and support than you can offer, don’t be afraid to look for alternatives or ask for help. Seeking long-term care options for a loved one might be the best way to keep them safe and maintain their quality of life.

  Amnesia is when you have significant memory loss. Treating the underlying cause may reverse it, but some causes are permanent. Amnesia is when you have serious memory loss. It can be a symptom of other conditions or happen by itself. Amnesia involves being unable to remember significant events or details from your life. People with amnesia may not understand what’s happening to them. They might not be able to make informed choices about their medical care. In those cases, a loved one with the authority to do so may need to make decisions for them. Cognitive rehabilitation and occupational therapy may also help some with memory loss. These types of therapies can teach you skills and techniques to help you compensate for any loss of memory or related abilities. People with amnesia from degenerative brain diseases or who have anterograde amnesia (and can’t form or store new memories) usually need support or medical care 24/7 (like with family members or in a skilled nursing facility). If you have memory loss that begins and develops slowly, you might not be able to recognize it in yourself. It’s more likely that a loved one will notice it first. If a loved one needs more care and support than you can offer, don’t be afraid to look for alternatives or ask for help. Seeking long-term care options for a loved one might be the best way to keep them safe and maintain their quality of life.
