Physical violence has been linked, especially domestic violence, towards amnesia, the memory loss disease. Psychogenic amnesia is often caused by extreme stress and trauma. For instance, an individual who suffers various forms of violence at home may suddenly lose his or her memory, which is also known as situation-specific amnesia. Additionally, psychiatrists are researching if amnesia that is associated with violent experiences can be cured. Over the past few years alone, an increasing rate of patients who were diagnosed with amnesia said they suffered domestic violence. Overall, amnesia is most commonly known to be caused by head injury.
