Question

What is the term called when a patient can't recornized a person?

Answer 1

according to my knowledge there is a disorder called retrograde amnesia which occurs after a patient obtains head trauma or brain infection. This causes certain long term memories to be inaccessible temporarily. This patient may be suffering from the above. If it is a older patient, he/she may have alzheimers disease which causes a decrease in the IQ. it is easy to then differentiate the two

Alzheimer

Answer 3

you probably want either "amnesia" or "alzthemizers."

Answer 4

There is a disorder where a person cannot remember faces. Not even of their parents, they forget.  People Magazine did an article about it.  I forget the name of the disorder.

Alzheimers also gets  people mixed up. Like they will recognize their daughter as a wife and call the daughter by the wife's name.  Or they will mistake a stranger for a relative.
