Natural History
- Amnesia may progress slowly or suddenly, and maybe transient or permanent. The natural history and prognosis depends upon the underlying cause.
- Without treatment Korsakoff's syndrome can cause mental disability with permanent memory loss, apathy, confabulation.[1]
Complications
- Patients with memory loss could suffer from depression and grief long term.[2]
- Quality of life and activities of daily living are difficult to maintain which causes decreased socialization and a decline in cognitive functions in the elderly.
Prognosis
- In patients with post traumatic amnesia, the extent of injury and duration of loss of consciousness are important prognostic factors in determining the severity of amnesia. [3]
- Dissociative fugue could last from days to months and once recovery occurs it is rapid and complete. Some refractory cases have been observed but usually it is just one episode.[2]
- If Korsakoff's syndrome is detected early and treatment optimally it can be reversed to some extent and can prevent further brain and nerve damage.[1]
