Amnesia is a brain disease, and due to physiological and genetic reasons, the incidence of men is significantly higher than that of women, and it is mainly divided into two categories: organic forgetfulness and functional forgetfulness. 1: Organic forgetfulness is due to problems in the memory nerves of the cerebral cortex, including brain tumors, traumatic brain injuries, encephalitis, etc., resulting in memory loss or loss; Certain systemic diseases, such as endocrine dysfunction, malnutrition, chronic poisoning, etc., can also damage the brain and cause forgetfulness.

The causes of amnesia are varied, the main reason is age, and the incidence of amnesia has recently tended to be younger, but compared with young people, middle-aged and elderly people over 40 years old are more likely to suffer from amnesia. The best memory of a person occurs around the age of twenty, and then the function of the brain begins to gradually decline, and the memory begins to decline officially around the age of twenty-five, and the older you get, the lower the memory, so it is not surprising that people in their twenties and thirties are plagued by amnesia. In addition, there are external causes for the occurrence of amnesia, and constant stress and tension can cause brain cells to fatigue, which can worsen amnesia.

Excessive smoking, alcohol consumption, vitamin deficiency, etc., can cause temporary memory deterioration. Recently, experts have also begun to notice that psychological factors also have a non-negligible influence on the formation of amnesia, and many amnesia patients who visit the hospital have symptoms of depression. Once a person falls into depression, he will stubbornly focus only on the depression itself and be indifferent to people and things in society, so the brain activity is low, and amnesia is induced.

From a TCM perspective, amnesia is caused by an uneven release of qi. It is the so-called lack of qi. Due to the lack of qi to the brain, the amount of blood in the brain decreases, resulting in memory loss.

Forgetfulness is mostly caused by inattention or divergence of attention in the brain, which means that the immediate memory function of the brain is inhibited, which may be caused by excessive staying up late, excessive tiredness, and alcohol.
