In the movie 'Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind' did Joel and Clemintine had Retrograde Amesia?

I think since they both couldnt recall memories from their relationship..they both had retrograde amnesia, but just for the period of their relationship. Also i think Joel had Depression, Clemintine probably had it also but the story didnt go much into her case. So am I correct in my diagnosis? Or did they have a different disorder?In the movie 'Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind' did Joel and Clemintine had Retrograde Amesia?
It probably wouldn't be referred to as retrograde amnesia, because it was content specific (i.e., referring just to events associated with their relationship). Damage resulting in retrograde amnesia generally doesn't distinguish between the content of memory in this way (whilst sometimes skill/motor knowledge is retained, patients usually can't recall anything about things that happened up to a certain period, either personal events or prominent public events). Its more common for the amnesia to apply to a particular time before the damage (e.g. not being able to recall anything in the past 10/15/20 years).



If they were to be diagnosed with a disorder (which they probably wouldn't, as in the story, it is the intended consequence of the procedure), it would probably be referred to as a kind of targeted amnesia.



If such a procedure existed/were possible of course.
