Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello thanks for asking from HCM

I can understand your concern. Sudden onset abnormal behaviour with episodic memory loss in a school going child should be evaluated properly. Some stress at school might be the cause behind these symptoms. Consult a psychologist for that.

This could also occur due to some seizure discharge. In seizures some times memory loss like symptoms are seen. A neurological consultation and EEG is advised for that. If there is history of loss of consciousness and tightness of extremities then most likely this is seizure discharge. Visit a doctor for help.

Thanks, Take care
