amnesia

Sounds like a good way to sustain a traumatic brain injury.

Or amnesia.

Amnesia, huh.

You would forget you ever met your maker.

And I would forget my existential dread.

Amnesia, the favorite trope of daytime soaps.

Surely I'm not that hackneyed.

Or am I?

The same root that gives us neme, memory, or mnemosyne, the goddess of memory and the mother of the muses in Greek mythology.

If that Greek sounds familiar, it's because Amnesty has a twin in the hospital, Amnesia.

So Amnesty and Amnesia are siblings from the same family.

One of them is a diagnosis and the other a policy, and both of them describe a mind or a state that has stopped remembering.

So he made all these statements, and then you go talk to him, and he's like, "Oh, I don't know what you're talking about." So for now, I'm gonna dub this guy Mr.

Memory Loss.

Oh, just like serial killers, that selective amnesia we like to talk about.

Oh, I blacked out.

Well, the first photo was William Cutty, and he went by Bill.

And in our story, he also goes by Mr.

Memory Loss.

Ooh.

He would not start now, not the night before his goddaughter's wedding.

Amnesia was proposed next.

A medical episode between the shop and home.

A dissociative state that could explain why he wandered.

This is Episode 9, sponsored by Home Instead Barnet, an organisation that provides compassionate and trusted care in your own home.

More than 18 years ago, I saw the very first signs of memory loss in my mum.

And about 10 years ago, she was given a formal diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.

Even in those earliest days, I knew that I wanted to help her, but I also knew that I wanted to do this from a scientific perspective.

And I'm Sonia Beldom, a podcaster, coach and cognitive behavioural therapist.

My mum had dementia and now with my sister, I look after my stepmum, who's also suffering from the early stages.

In this podcast we reveal the latest science around memory loss and in particular how that affects people with dementia and to some extent leads them to feel and behave the way they do.

I've researched memory for over 30 years and for me understanding the science behind my mum's memory loss helped me to develop some simple and effective strategies for supporting her and reducing her stress.

Thank you for joining us here on Goblets and Gays.

This has been Brian and the Charnel House.

We have been the Amnesiac Squad, losing all of our memories and getting in the back at Sonic Speed.

It's been a bad time.

I hope we all had fun and talk to you

The infantile amnesia criticized.

The so-called amnesia of childhood, which plays an important part in the three contributions, is a similar illegitimate retrograde application from pathology.

Amnesia is a pathological condition consisting in the repression of certain contents of the conscious.

This condition cannot possibly be the same as the antegrade amnesia of children, which consists in an incapacity for intentional reproduction, a condition we find also among savages.

This incapacity for reproduction dates from birthing can be understood on obvious anatomical and biological grounds.
