Amnesia

Action movie protagonists frequently entirely lose their memories and change into new individuals. With one vehicle accident, cold-blooded killers change into likeable characters that you can empathize with. Is the way amnesia is portrayed in movies, nonetheless, accurate when compared to actual cases?

If you question the subject-matter authorities, the response appears to be a resounding "no" in every way. Simply put, it is not how amnesia functions. Accident victims frequently forget a few things, although the effects are typically short-lived.

Only underlying neurological causes can result in the kind of persistent, drastically altering amnesia we witness in movies. Even then, contrary to what is frequently depicted in movies, it doesn't make you forget who you are or completely rewire your entire existence.
