<p>Read the following paragraph and answer the question at the bottom</p><p>1. The leading causes of amnesia are either physical or psychological. In</p><p>2. antergrade amnesia, the subject is unable to recall the events that occur after</p><p>3. a shock or an injury to the brain; however, past memories will not be lost. In</p><p>4. retrograde amnesia, the patient is capable of recalling events that occurs after the</p><p>5. trauma; interestingly enough, information stored before the shock, is lost and</p><p>6. cannot be retrieved. In paraamnesisa, established memories are contorted. In</p><p>7. psychogenic fugue, the subject may venture into a new lifestyle, trying to</p><p>8. repress memories which lead to trepidation. The events happening during</p><p>9. psychogenic fugue are non-retrievable. Nonetheless, the experiences that</p><p>10. happened before the onset can be recovered. Among the most popular</p><p>11. treatments for psychologically related amnesia are psychotherapy, the use of</p><p>12. drugs, and hypnosis.</p><p>What is the main topic of the passage?</p>
