Dissociative Amnesia
Prognosis for Dissociative Amnesia
Sometimes memories return quickly, as can happen when people are taken out of the traumatic or stressful situation (such as combat). In other cases, amnesia, particularly in people with dissociative fugue, persists for a long time. Symptoms may decrease as people age. Most people recover what appears to be their missing memories and resolve the conflicts that caused the amnesia. However, some people never break through the barriers that prevent them from reconstructing their missing past.
