How to treat amnesia from a concussion?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
May be tough: A true concussion is characterized by amnesia either regarding preceding or postdromal events or both, and this may well be permanent. If there is a memory issue in addition, there may be a traumatic brain injury. Recommend speech therapy, and perhaps cognitive-behavioural therapy.

Amnesia treatment: Brain injury can cause many different types of cognitive and emotional deficits. The first step is to establish what the deficits are by having a neuropsychological evaluation. Then speech and cognitive therapists will help provide exercises and routines to improve or manage these deficits. Contact your doctor or a neurologist for help with diagnosis and management.
