message: the article reads that it is caused by psychological effects, but the examples of movies in which this occurs given in the article are about cases of physiological amnesia. one or the other should be changed· Lygophile has spoken 23:28, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:DavidFitzpatrick.jpg

message: I've moved the following section to the talk page for now at least - I don't see much merit in including case studies as they are single-incidents, making it difficult to draw any conclusions without being a synthesis.  They've got a 'gee-whiz' factor, but nothing else, and I don't believe they're appropriate for the page as is.  If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to make 'em.

thread_title:  Case studies 

message: I removed the following two references from the page - the first just seems like some guy's opinion (though referenced) and wasn't attached to any text.  The second is a book, and also not attached to any section.  If someone can replace the second as an in-line citation, that'd be great.  I'd rather the first didn't go back at all, unless it justifies an unreferenced section and a pubmed article can't be found.  WLU (talk) 18:16, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  References 

message: Per our external links guidelines, I removed the following link, , it's a terrible choice for an EL, but a good source for the page itself.  WLU (talk) 17:30, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  WP:EL 

message: I have added an EL on Dissociation and Trauma Archives, full text searchable articles and case studies published in the 1800s and early 1900s. ResearchEditor (talk) 19:29, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  EL added 

message: I'm just a kid who is doing a health project, but on the LSD page it says "There is also some indication that LSD may trigger a dissociative fugue state in individuals who are taking certain classes of antidepressants such as lithium salts and tricyclics."
Then on the Fugue State page it says that "Unlike retrograde amnesia, Dissociative Amnesia is not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance."
Now, that seems just a little bit wrong.
If I totally messed up the format, I'm sorry.  Just wanted to let you people know.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.161.91.108 (talk) 23:01, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Untrue Sentance 

message: I thought it might be worth thinking about... because child abuse, the case of the man who was abused in Japan with freeze drying experiments, etc point to this.--Hitsuji Kinno (talk) 02:05, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Link between PTSD and Psychogenic Amnesia?

message: As stated in DSM-IV and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissociative_disorder, Psychogenic amnesia is the former name for this syndrome, could someone please change this article's title to reflect this? Thanks Valethar (talk) 14:05, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Name change

message: This page is now a well-balanced, thorough source of information on what is currently known about psychogenic amnesia, its classification, and importantly what has not yet been established, i.e. undetected underlying neurologial causes. 
Suggestions:
The popular culture section could be expanded by stressing that despite scientific disagreement about whether psychogenic amnesia is actually real, like repression it continues to endure in lay assumptions about memory and this shows up in art, literature, etc. 
General: The article needs to be copyedited for a few typos (i.e. memory "decifits") and grammar issues. Lots of technical terms are clearly defined at first use but some are not (i.e. semantic/procedural memory), consider defining these for clarity. For ease of reading, consider breaking up large sections into smaller paragraphs.
Lead: this is a  clear outline of what psychogenic amnesia is; consider making sure that every general point in the article is foreshadowed in teh lead (i.e. section about popular culture is not).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emountier (talk • contribs) 02:49, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Review of current page

message: Could an admin keep this page as psychological amnesia, and make a new blank for dissociative amnesia since the two disorders are wholly different both psychologically, neurologically different and one is innate while the other is environmentally caused, and the DSM-5 only attends to dissociative amnesia. Thank you in advance. Z (talk) 19:08, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello Admin, thank you again in advance again, but the articles are backward. Could you make the new page the one for Dissociative amnesia and the current one stay as Psychogenic amnesia. I can provide feedback on why if needed.Z (talk) 23:38, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Separation of Dissociative Amnesia from Psychological Amnesia - Admin needed for re-categorization of this topic 

message: it the article it is stated that "Dissociative amnesia was formally known as psychogenic amnesia", if it is no longer reffered to as psychogenic amnesia, atleast in a clinical setting, then shouldn't the article be updated to reffer to the correct term?
I dont want to make any changes just in case im incorrect though. ¿V0id? {have a great day!} (talk) 15:55, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Psychogenic or dissociative? 

message: The Return of the Repressed: The Persistent and Problematic Claims of Long-Forgotten Trauma - PMC (nih.gov)
this page explains how repressed memory and dissociative amnesia are the same thing, and how previous cases that have been diagnosed have failed to rule out other possible causes like head trauma. Dissociative amnesia goes against what we know about memory and how trauma affects it. Futhermore, it enables healthcare practitioners to try and recover lost memories in patients minds. Memory is extremely malleable and prone to being wrong. Einthevoid (talk) 01:12, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
