Overview
Treatment can be offered in cases of reversible conditions. If not, provision of supportive care can help to improve a patient's condition.
Medical Therapy
- Memory loss can't be treated unless it is caused by a reversible condition.
- The treatment is greatly dependent on the primary cause of the condition.
- When memory loss is a symptom of a more severe disease, it may be reversed as soon as the underlying condition is identified and cured.
- Memory loss due to aging cannot be cured, but the symptoms may be improved by preventative measures.
- Family support plays an important role in treating memory loss.
- Family members are usually encouraged to take special orientation classes on how to cope with their sick relatives and how to help them improve their condition.
- Dissociative Amnesia:
- Psychotherapy: Cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectic-behavior therapy, relaxation techniques.
- Medications: Antidepressants, anti-anxiety or antipsychotic drugs are used to treat the mental symptoms associated with dissociative amnesia.
- Childhood Amnesia: Methods used from retrieval of episodic memory lost:
