Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Generalized amnesia is a type of amnesia where a person's loss of memory is not limited to specific events or details but includes their entire life history. This is the most likely diagnosis for Rutger, who lost his identity and became dazed. Localized amnesia would only affect specific periods or events, while selective amnesia would only affect certain details or aspects of a person's life. Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that is not related to memory loss.
