Question

Can u get deja vu and amnesia at the same time?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Very possibly. I've heard about things like this 3rd or 4th hand, but I don't have any reference to cut and paste here. Sorry

Answer 3

I feel like I've answered this question before, but I forget the answer.

Answer 4

well, yeah. in fact, that's very likely.

most people who suffer from amnesia or memory loss see things in their mind, find it to be familiar, but not quite remember what it is.

if you mean have a sense of deja-vu, but have it just be amnesia, that's less likely. something would have to instigate amnesia.

Answer 5

Actually, yes!

Amnesia is the condition when a person's memory is permanently/ partially/ shortly depleted. While this may occur, the psychological term deja vu is the state when the brain registers something faster than the visual system. When you encounter this "first time instance", your brain has already understood it before your eyes indicate so to your brain.

Since deja vu has no similar linearity to amnesia, this can infact happen.

Answer 6

I feel like I've forgotten this before?

You may need to be more specific.

Answer 7

yup. you can. you can get dejavu after you had amnesia.

Answer 8

Yes,

as you may not remember (amnesia) that you have seen this before (deja vu).

Answer 9

I think I remember forgetting that I answered this question before, maybe...
