Memory loss (amnesia) is a condition where memory is disturbed or lost. It can come on slowly or suddenly and can be temporary or permanent depending on the cause. Causes of amnesia include: old age, alcoholism, brain damage due to disease or injury, brain tumours, syphilis, depression, emotional trauma, head trauma or injury, seizures and stroke. Stress can also bring amnesia on. If you suffer memory loss seek IMMEDIATE diagnosis and treatment.
