👉 The concept of "forgetfulness" refers to a state or condition where an individual is unable to recall information or thoughts from their past, often due to some form of cognitive impairment such as Alzheimer's disease. It can also refer to the process of forgetting something that has been previously learned or remembered. The term was first coined in the context of memory disorders and is now used more broadly to describe a wide range of mental health conditions that affect memory and cognitive function.
