Editing Forgetting (section)

==Impairments and lack of forgetting==
{{Main|Memory disorder}}
Forgetting can have very different causes than simply removal of stored content. Forgetting can mean access problems, availability problems, or can have other reasons such as [[amnesia]] caused by an accident.

An inability to forget can cause distress, as with [[post-traumatic stress disorder]] and [[hyperthymesia]] (in which people have an extremely detailed [[autobiographical memory]]).
