Is selective memory a disease?

First of all, this is not the so-called selective amnesia. Hard to remember and hard to remember, hard to remember and hard to remember, these are completely different manifestations. These characteristics you mentioned above can only be regarded as hard to remember at most, and they are related to some specific things. Although selective memory is also unable to remember things and recall, the performance of the two is different. Besides, your reasons are totally different. Selective forgetting does not mean that individuals voluntarily give up their memories and recollections of certain things, nor do they actively ignore information reception and information storage and extraction because of their attention shift and mental deviation. The root cause of selective forgetting is that a series of events or experiences have caused great pressure on the individual's spirit, prompting the individual to develop a set of memory isolation models to screen the memory information related to this pressure. It has a lot to do with mental trauma, and it can also be called the natural reaction of acute stress disorder. You can also understand that the individual's state at that time could not bear great psychological pressure, so it produced natural self-protection. It is called staged self-protection because the influence of traumatic events may make individuals master the ability to cope with stress with the development of psychological ability, and then may restore their memories. The role of hypnosis and psychoanalysis is based on this. Your condition is completely different from selective amnesia.

Secondly, selective amnesia is not a mental illness. It is a kind of over-limit self-protection. This is different from the memory disorder caused by simple trauma and infection. The memory disorder caused by the latter is different from that caused by mental stress. It can be judged by some actual tests. Here, you don't need to worry too much about whether you have mental illness. Because there is no such foundation.

Time and time again, you have to consider that your energy and attention have been basically spent on the vocational qualification examination recently. In this case, the information your brain mainly processes is related to the events you are concerned about, and the information you receive is also biased. Memory is the process of selecting information, combining information, storing information, optimizing information and extracting information at the same time. In this process, you don't pay special attention to other people's identity information, and even think about the exam when you are doing things. Therefore, other information has been ignored by you. Once the information is not exciting enough, it will only form short-term memory. Once you view it, these messages will be deleted. After all, the brain will not accept and process all the information, and we will only process the information that is important and concerned to us. The reason why many people show poor memory is not that there is really something wrong, but that they are thinking about another thing when doing one thing. The result of this distraction is that information can't be accepted and stored, and of course it can't form extractable memory information in the end. At the same time, the acceptance of information itself has its own characteristics. For example, a person who likes writing has much better memory ability when he sees a piece of written information than a person who likes dancing, while a person who likes dancing has much better memory ability for body movements than a person who only likes writing. The reason is that what kind of information we are used to processing will make it easier for us to process similar information. After all, we have stored a lot of relevant information before, and when dealing with new information, we will absorb and integrate such information on this basis. This is why professionals read professional books faster and more efficiently than non-professionals.

So from the analysis of these situations, you can not care about such a small thing in the near future. And focus on the study of professional knowledge. After all, the exam is such an important thing that you have to prepare yourself well to get good grades. When you return to your normal daily life after the exam, your state will gradually adjust. There is no need to worry too much. If you are in doubt about this, you can refer to the memory articles in cognitive psychology and physiological psychology.
