Memory suppression: Difference between revisions

Line 11:

Memory suppression is an extremely common effect under the influence of [[dosage#strong|strong]] to [[dosage#heavy|heavy]] [[dosage|dosages]] of many [[hallucinogen|hallucinogenic]] substances. These compounds typically include almost any [[psychedelic]], [[dissociative]], and [[deliriant]] substance.

It is worth noting although memory suppression is vaguely similar in its effects to [[amnesia]], it differs in that it directly suppresses one's usage of their long or short term memory without inhibiting the person's ability to recall what happened during this experience afterward. In contrast, [[amnesia]] does not directly affect the usage of one's short or long term memory during its experience but instead renders a person incapable of recalling events after it has worn off. As such, a person experiencing amnesia may not obviously appear to be doing so, as they can often carry on normal conversations and perform complex tasks. This is not the case with memory suppression.

In contrast, amnesia does not directly affect the usage of one's short or long-term memory during its experience but instead renders a person incapable of recalling events after it has worn off. A person experiencing memory suppression cannot access their existing memory, while a person with drug-induced amnesia cannot properly store new memories. As such, a person experiencing amnesia may not obviously appear to be doing so, as they can often carry on normal conversations and perform complex tasks. This is not the case with memory suppression.
