Significance of Memory
Memories are critical for our survival. They are our precious intellectual capabilities and mental health assets. Our memories are so essential that they determine our personality and identity.
Unfortunately, in addition to aging and head injuries, some mental health conditions cause memory decline and disorders. Yet, we all need well-functioning memories to survive and enjoy our lives.
