but in dissociative amnesia, the patient is aware of their memory loss
two types:
1.patient presents as disoriented, purposeless, wandering state.
2.deletion af a large aspect of personal history from the concious memory.
NORMALLY THERE IS ANOTHER UNDERLYING PSYCHIATRIC DISORDER
*if thatīs the answer, thaīs ok, but not a typical presentation of DA.
