Pros And Cons Of Psychogenic Retrograde Amnesia

104 Words1 Page

This is a very interesting question. For me, I think I would rather have psychogenic retrograde amnesia than DID. First of all, patient with psychogenic retrograde amnesia usually are able to recover their memories within a month. Also, I think I would still be able to function normally and have control to my life if I have psychogenic retrograde amnesia than DID.

Therefore I would rather suffer from psychogenic retrograde amnesia, although none of the scenarios are ideal.
