The essential feature of Dissociative Amnesia is an inability to
recall important personal information, usually of a traumatic or
stressful nature, that is too extensive to be explained by normal
forgetfulness. This disorder involves a reversible memory
impairment in which memories of personal experience cannot be
retrieved in a verbal form (or, if temporarily retrieved, cannot be
wholly retained in consciousness). The disturbance does not
occur exclusively during the course of Dissociative Identity
Disorder, Dissociative Fugue, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Acute
Stress Disorder, or Somatization Disorder and is not due to the
direct physiological effects of a substance or neurological or other
general medical condition. The symptoms must cause clinically
significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other
important areas of functioning.
Dissociative Amnesia most commonly
presents as a retrospectively reported gap or series of gaps in
recall for aspects of the individual's life history. These
gaps are usually related to traumatic or extremely stressful events.
Some individuals may have amnesia for episodes of self-mutilation,
violent outbursts, or suicide attempts. Less commonly,
Dissociative Amnesia presents as a florid episode with sudden onset.
This acute form is more likely to occur during wartime or in
response to a natural disaster.
Several types of memory disturbances
have been described in Dissociative Amnesia. In localized
amnesia, the individual fails to recall events that occurred
during a circumscribed period of time, usually the first few hours
following a profoundly disturbing event (the uninjured survivor of a
car accident in which a family member has been killed may not be
able to recall anything that happened from the time of the accident
until 2 days later). In selective amnesia, the person
can recall some, but not all, of the events during a circumscribed
period of time (a combat veteran can recall only some parts of a
series of violent combat experiences). Three other types of
amnesia--generalized, continuous, and systematized--are less common.
In generalized amnesia, failure of recall encompasses the
person's entire life. Individuals with this rare disorder
usually present to the police, to emergency rooms, or to general
hospital consultation-liaison services. Continuous amnesia
is defined as the inability to recall events subsequent to a
specific time up to and including the present. Systematized
amnesia is loss of memory for certain categories of information,
such as all memories relating to one's family or to a particular
person. Individuals who exhibit these latter three types of
Dissociative Amnesia may ultimately be diagnosed as having a more
complex form of Dissociative Disorder (Dissociative Identity
Disorder).
Diagnostic Criteria for
Dissociative Amnesia
The predominant
disturbance is one or more episodes of inability to
recall important personal information, usually a
traumatic or stressful nature, that is too extensive to
be explained by ordinary forgetfulness.
The disturbance
does not occur exclusively during the course of
Dissociative Identity Disorder, Dissociative Fugue,
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Acute Stress Disorder, or
Somatization Disorder and is not due to the direct
physiological effects of a substance (a drug of abuse, a
medication) or a neurological or other general medical
condition (Amnestic Disorder Due to Head Trauma).
The symptoms
cause clinically significant distress or impairment in
social, occupational, or other important areas of
functioning.
