Amnesia is a deficit in memory caused by brain damage or brain diseases, but it can also be temporarily caused by the use of various sedative and hypnotic drugs. The memory can be either wholly or partially lost due to the extent of damage that is caused.
Amnesia is a loss of memory that can result from brain damage, brain disease, or temporary effects of certain sedative and hypnotic drugs. Depending on how severe the underlying cause is, a person may lose some or all of their memory, which can significantly affect their ability to function in daily life.

健忘（けんぼう、英語: Amnesia）とは、記憶障害のうち、特に宣言的記憶の障害された状態を指す。宣言的記憶（陳述記憶）とは記憶のうち言語で表現できる種類のもの、エピソード記憶や意味記憶のことである。 一般的に言う「物忘れ」から「記憶喪失」まで含んだ概念である。 なお、この「健忘」の「健」は「甚だ」の意であり、「健闘」の「健」と同様である。
