It’s a disease which causes the patients lose their memories for shorter or longor period. Sometimes a complete loss of memory can occur as well, when the patients will never be able to recollect their past. It’s a very interesting thing that their body can often remember movements they learned not so long ago, although their brain can’t. I think it’s among the worst things if someone loses his momories, because we have experienced much in our past, the past determines us – it determines who we have become. And suddenly all this disappears, the patients can’t remember important parts of their life, such as their beloved ones, their happy memories, their schools etc.
