A friend of my Mom's has amnesia. She got it 2 years ago and she forgot like 1/3 of her whole life: about 10 years that came directly before she woke up 2 years ago. My Mom and her aren't friends really any more because she doesn't remember why they were friends or school together. She has a way different personality to and it's weird. She said she wants to be who she was before 2 years ago but she said she doesn't know how. Is that normal? will she ever remember? She got brain damage after a blood clot after a car accident.

I saw a report I think on 20/20 about amnesia,and Yes that is very common. One of the people they talked with was a high school kid who was very outgoing,and popular as well as a very good athlete before ehe was in a car accident. After that he was a recluse who didn't like sports,and very shy. In the report Dr's said most people will never recover from amnesia. If they do recover it would be in the first 30 days. after that the chances are almost none.

with any type of brain damage is hard to know what will come back or not unfortunately medicine has not progressed far enough with the brain for us to know but that does not mean there is no hope left some people wake up one day with all of there memories there some people it takes years some people it never happens i hope this helps i know it is not what you wanted to hear but it is the best i can do good luck

its not such normal.but some times in somecases it may happen. try to observe her every moment and make her that she can remember what is she doing . leave about past but make her about the present and future.may be accident also one reason for not remembering.make up she is healthy for her self by showing new things about others mainly try to show her past lives by repeating the moments of her past.this may cure her internally.
