Post traumatic stress syndrome is blocking the unpleasant experience, whether it be an auto accident or a war experience, where the mind wants to disassociate in a actual way, with the pain that you went through, thus creating a memory loss. Many times the memory could have been buried years ago, it's way back in the memory but it can still affect your current function of today's every-day life. So, once that is relieved, the memory will actually come back to it's level – but it's something that people should be aware of. Too much trauma or too much shock to the mind and the body, and the system itself can affect your memory.
