Most common questions used to investigate Do you show an inability to recall important autobiographical information, usually of a traumatic/ stressful nature, that is inconsistent with ordinary forgetting? Do the symptoms cause impairment in important areas of functioning (e.g., social, occupational)? Can you confirm that the disturbance is not attributable to the effects of a substance (e.g., alcohol or other drug abuse, medication) or a neurological or other medical condition? Can you confirm that the disturbance is not better explained by dissociative identity disorder (in which two or more distinct identities are present in someone), post-traumatic stress disorder (a mental disorder that can develop after someone is exposed to a traumatic event), acute stress disorder (can develop after a traumatic event and lasts up to one month), somatic symptom disorder (extreme focus on physical symptoms that causes major distress) or major or mild neuro-cognitive disorder (decreased mental function caused by a medical disease)?Ĭommon conclusions Based on your answers, you would not be diagnosed with dissociative amnesia.
