Older people get alzheimers, a disease that makes them forgetful, but it can also affect relatively young people. Amnesia can happen to all age gropus, even young children. It is where the sufferer gets a bump on the head/concussion/bruising which affects the brain. The brain swells and it's that reaction that causes interference between the electrical signals, causing amnesia and other problems. Sometimes the brain and signals right themselves, and other times you have to learn everything all over again and the brain never recovers.Is it really possible for a young person to have amnesia ?
not correct...it can come for any age as long as you had trauma to your head.
