Answer: a head injury; emotional shock

Amnesia with a organic cause it's when a part of the brain has a lesion due to a direct damage caused by physical trauma like a head injury or a disease.
Psychogenic amnesia on the other hand, has no structural brain damage but occurs due to psychological stress, like an emotional shock.
