I heard from someone (not a reliable source) that not all anesthesia is to numb the pain, some (for example those which put u to sleep during an operation/surgery) make u/yr brain forget u felt it. So they kinda delete it.
So the questions:
1.) Is that true;
2.)If it is, theoretically, can we decide which memories to delete (or doctors);
2.) If we can, or can’t. Can we use them on people that have trauma, for example we can delete all.
3.) Can it cause amnesia if doctors overdose.
U don’t have to answer to all of them, u can do 1/2/3.) *answer.

The first is true. There is a commonly used drug called Versed (pronounced ver-said). It is used as an alternative to opiate based pain relief. It is a sedative that makes you sleepy and basically causes amnesia from the time it’s given until you wake up. So it will knock you out like morphine without the problem of tanking the respiratory drive like morphine or fentanyl.
For 2&3, I don’t think it works that way. Not in a targeted controlled approach.
