Dissociative amnesia is the loss of memory of personal information that is thought to stem from psychological conflict or trauma.

Explanation:

Amnesia is defined as a deficit in your memory that can be presented in diverse forms, with the subject that is being forgotten ranging from facts, information or past experiences. One of the types of amnesia is called dissociative amnesia, which involves the loss of memory of personal information that would not be typically lost with ordinary forgetting, for example, a robbery victim not being able to remember the moment of the attack that is thought to stem from psychological conflict or trauma. It is thought to appear as a result of a highly traumatic event for the person, that in response to that trauma, had suppressed that memory in the subconscious part of the brain, but although that memory seems to be unavailable, it still shows how it is impacting the victim's behavior, for example a robbery victim that was attacked in an elevator, may have forgotten the attack itself but still cannot ride an elevator without feeling anxiety and fear.
