Causes of Amnesia

Amnesia can be caused due to any head injury, brain damage, extensive usage of drugs and alcohol. Even a slightest injury in the head should be addressed immediately as the head is one of the major parts in the human body. Even a minute of injury should be treated properly by a medical practitioner to avoid any infection which may result in any sort of complications involving brain and brain tissues. Head injuries are treated very seriously and with high care by Doctors to avoid such complications. Usage of drugs and extensive usage of alcohol will affect a person’s pattern of thinking. Drugs and alcohol can cause many physical and psychic problems. Say for instance in psychological terms extensive usage of drugs tends to hallucinations and other psychic disorders which would eventually lead to Depression and Amnesia. To have a healthy lifestyle one can avoid drugs in all levels as it corrupts not only individual’s body and psychic state but also destroys the entire nation and neighborhood.
