It depends on the cause, severity and type of amnesia.
In dementias such as Alzheimer's disease one would typically expect gradual deterioration of memory abilities.
In stroke and traumatic brain injuries there may be improvement in memory particularly over the first few months, but there may be gradual improvements up to 1 to 2 years after the event.
In Transient Global Amnesia there may be complete restoration of memory after a short amount of time.Report this post
