Overview
Aging, depression, chronic stress, head trauma, chronic sleep deprivation and medications are risk factors for amnesia.
Risk Factors
- A psychologically traumatic incident in the past can increase chances of developing dissociative amnesia (psychogenic amnesia).[1]
- Head trauma increases the risk of post traumatic amnesia.[2]
- Sexual repression in childhood and cultural norms can cause infantile/childhood amnesia in adults.[3]
- Prolonged trauma and childhood sexual abuse can increase risk of dissociative fugue.
- Sleep deprivation[4]
- Head trauma, depression, hypertension, Down syndrome and family history can increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.[5]
- Risk factors for Korsakoff Syndrome include prolonged alcohol use, chemotherapy, dialysis, extreme dieting, severe malnutrition, genetic factors.[6]
- Chronic stress[7]
- Decreased socialization[8]
