7. Loss of memory

The ability to block out painful memories helps people overcome traumas and resume their regular lives. This mental power is an essential inbuilt trauma recovery tool, but acute stress disorder sometimes takes this process too far. In addition to blocking out details of the traumatic event, the patient forgets essential personal information. Memory should return to normal when the disorder ends, but meanwhile, this situation causes a great deal of mental distress to all concerned.
