It is a process which can be broken down into 3 basic levels:

#'''~~Concentration~~ suppression''' - This is the partial failure of a person's short term memory. It can be described as a general difficulty staying focused and an increase in distractibility.

#'''Partial short term memory suppression''' - This is the partial failure of a person's short term memory. It can be described as a general difficulty staying focused and an increase in distractibility.

#'''~~Short~~ term memory suppression''' - This is the complete failure of a person's short term memory. It can be described as the experience of becoming being completely incapable of remembering any specific details regarding the present situation for more than a few seconds. This is capable of resulting in [[thought loops]], disorientation, loss of control and confusion for the inexperienced. Long term memory, however, remains entirely intact as people are still perfectly capable of recollecting their name, date of birth, childhood school, etc.

Long term memory, however, remains entirely intact as people are still perfectly capable of recollecting their name, date of birth, childhood school, etc.

#'''~~Long~~ term memory suppression''' - This is the complete failure of both a person's long and short term memory. It can be described as the experience of becoming completely incapable of remembering even the most basic fundamental human concepts stored within the long-term memory. This includes one's name, identity, home town, that they are on drugs, what drugs even are, what human beings are, what life is, what existence is or what anything is. The most notable of these, however, is the loss of one's ability to recall their concept or sense of self and identity.

#'''Partial long term memory suppression''' - This is the partial failure of both a person's long and the complete failure of their short term memory. It can be described as the experience of having difficulty remembering even the most basic fundamental human concepts stored within the long-term memory.

Although memory suppression is similar in its effects to [[amnesia]], it differs in that it is usually possible for the person experiencing it to recall what happened during the process after it is over. However, [[amnesia]] by its very definition allows people to retain information within the present moment but renders them incapable of recalling it afterwards.
