If no motive for the amnesia was immediately apparent, deeper motives were usually sought by questioning the patient more intensely, often in conjunction with hypnosis and truth drugs. In many cases, however, patients were found to spontaneously recover from their amnesia on their own accord so no treatment was required. In popular culture
Psychogenic amnesia is a common fictional plot device in many films, books and other media. Examples include William Shakespeares King Lear, who experienced amnesia and madness following a betrayal by his daughters; and the title character Nina in Nicolas Dalayracs 1786 opera. In the 2009 Televisa-produced telenovela Sortilegio, the main female protagonist (Jacqueline Bracamontes) is kidnapped and her memory is wiped using drugs. In OMORI, one of the main characters (Sunny) has dissociative amnesia. In the 2009 Breaking Bad television programs second season episode Bit by a Dead Bee, the main protagonist, Walter White, fakes a fugue state to account for his whereabouts. See also
