- Amnesia can be divided into two broad groups:
- Anterograde amnesia: The inability to form new memory.
- Retrograde amnesia: The loss of memory prior to the onset of amnesia.
- Following are types of amnesia, these can features of anterograde, retrograde or both:
- Dissociative Amnesia
- Post-traumatic Amnesia
- Infantile Amnesia
- Drug-Induced Amnesia
- Amnesia in Korsakoff’s Syndrome
- Selective Amnesia
- Epileptic Amnesia
- Lacunar amnesia
