Does amnesia come under the category of mental impairement?

Good morning. Just a quick question to settle a friendly debate. I say that amnesia does fall under the category of a mental impairment. Is that true?Does amnesia come under the category of mental impairement?
Yes. Amnesia is a mental impairment. The argument that the person at the time can think for himself or herself is a mute point. The question is what were they thinking and what distortion came into the picture due to this trauma that led to the individual to make a decision that may adversely affect her.Does amnesia come under the category of mental impairement?
Amnesia:

Loss or impairment of memory. Amnesia is usually associated with some form of brain damage, but it may also be caused by severe psychological trauma. Amnesia with a physical cause is called organic amnesia, whereas amnesia of psychological origin is called functional amnesia





So yeah, i agree with you





Edit -



In that situation, i would feel the other person Is being victimized unless the person that has caused her emotional trauma in the past explains to them what they did and the other party forgives themDoes amnesia come under the category of mental impairement?
technically yes but iv never really heard it described in that way
What is the other category that the other friend is arguing?
