What are the hazards of amnesia?

Patient's question:

I am called Little Scatterbrain. By the way, but it's just scatterbrained, and it has gotten worse since having my baby. I often forget what I was doing just a minute after starting, and I can't find things I just put down. Online, it's said that this is a form of amnesia, and I'm wondering what kind of assistance is needed: What are the harms of having a frequent, short-term amnesia that forgets many things?

Doctor's answer:

What are the dangers of amnesia? Disorientation in time, confabulation, and anterograde or retrograde amnesia. The patient may begin to forget events that occurred after the onset of the disease or things they have just done. Amnesia is often combined with memory errors, and patients often use confabulation or fabrication to fill in the gaps in their past experiences. Wishing you good health!
