[Psychogenic Retrograde and Anterograde Amnesia].

Patients with dissociative retrograde amnesia, under the influence of high stress, lose access to past autobiographical event memories that should have been remembered. Patients with dissociative anterograde amnesia cannot recall extremely emotional experiences. If dissociative anterograde amnesia is experienced repeatedly in daily life, something in daily life becomes a fear stimulus. Fear conditioning in dissociative anterograde amnesia is often related to past memories of child abuse that can not be recalled due to dissociative amnesia.
