Does Amnesia come under the category of diminished capacity?

This is for a legal debate. Some contend that amnesia is not a mental disorder or qualify as diminished capacity. Some say it is.



What say YOU!! Citations added would be lovely thank you. Does Amnesia come under the category of diminished capacity?
In myn and my mums opinion, Yes it is. Does Amnesia come under the category of diminished capacity?
I don't think so. I had a closed head injury and lost a little over 10 yrs of memory. I am able to function perfectly, except I don't remember the 1980's firsthand. I would put amnesia more in the physiological category.
