A member asked:
Please tell me, could you give yourself amnesia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, several ways: There are two kinds of amnesia: forgetting things you once knew, and not "recording" new memories. The former can be done using hypnosis, the latter with tranquilizers & other meds that interfere with memory. Dementia and brain damage can cause amnesia too. TRYING to give yourself amnesia doesn't sound like a good idea though. It's better to learn to accept & deal with your experiences.
