My friend since is unable to cry since the last five years. He couldn't even cry when someone close to him died. He gets suffocated if he has the urge to cry. At night he suddenly sleeps and doesn't know if he passed out or just slept. He remembers his past in few fragments. If he is asked a specific question about his past then he can remember and tell but he has forgotten a lot of it. He has a habit of forgetting the bad things. I know that I should consult a doctor but I want to know about his condition in detail can I get some help please?

It can be dissociative amnesia a type of psychiatric illness. Only evaluation from a psychiatrist can confirm the same. She might need a type of counselling (psychotherapy) called psychodynamic psychotherpay. All the best.
