Causes for Amnesia

Amnesia is most commonly associated with the damage of brain cells. Most significant brain damage occurs when the brain is injured, such as in a car accident or as the result of a fall from a height. These traumas tend to cause a state of confusion, and some memory is often lost.

Amnesia has several root causes. Most of them are related with the physical trauma, disease, infection, drug and alcohol abuse, or reduced blood flow to the brain. Infections that damage brain tissue, including encephalitis and herpes, can also cause amnesia.

Some other causes of amnesia:

• Alzheimer's disease.
• Head trauma or injury.
• Seizures.
• Alcoholism.
• Stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).
• Depression.
