One of the keys to happiness is bad memory

l  Introduction!!

 

Imagine if you woke up with Amnesia and forgot about the silly little things,the dreams you left behind you didn’t need them. And the dreams you never can escape.

 

Those memories that you have to let go off.

The good,The bad,The sad,The happy,The funny,The scary...... ALL OF IT.

 

And when you forgot to remember??

 

I chose this topic because I want to make people aware of this unusual disease. I

 also wanted to learn more about it. In addition to this I wanted to teach my readers about things that they had not learnt about before.

l Amnesia...A disease where your memory gets washed away and can’t be brought back.

 

Amnesia is a disease in which you loose all your memory. The memory can be wholly1 or partially2 lost due to the extent of damage the was caused.

 

There are 2 types of Amnesia

Retrograde and Anterograde.

Both types can occur within a patient at one time depending on the kind of damage done to your brain.

 

A patient first loses the recent memories,then personal memories and lastly family intellectual related memories. The more damage done to the brain the worse the damage could get.

 

 

l Can stroke lead to worse things such as Amnesia?

 

Amnesia can be cause by many such reasons such as:

ü Stroke

ü Head injuries- Such as car accidents.

ü Lack of oxygen- The brain doesn’t receive an adequate3 amount of oxygen.

ü Subarachnoid Hemorrhage- Bleeding in between the skull and the brain.

ü Tumors in inappropriate places in the brain.

ü   It also rarely occurs in patients with major depression,whose illness has not responded to other treatments.

 

l What if you have Amnesia but you don’t know about it because you forgot you had it.

 

Amnesia’s symptoms:

 

ü To learn new Information

ü The ability to remember past events

ü Failure to recognize places

ü Failure to remember faces

 

 

   Why did they erase it this time?

It wasn’t there’s to take

 

 

l HATE REMEMBERING?

 WELL I HATE FORGETING.
