There is an order of hierarchy in our living system scientifically proved but has been said long back in GITA that emotional plane(man) is superior to body and intellect (buddhy-mental plane) is superior to emotion(man) . If something is suppressed at one level of hierarchy the next level suffers the effect of suppression. Though not very prominent but it is evident in this case as an effort to suppress anxiety (at emotional plane) led to forgetfulness (at mental plane which is higher level) but it was just beginning when patient stopped the suppressive treatment and resorted to homoeopathic treatment at right time which reverted the process.
