Answer 1:

There are some problems with this question, but I'll only say the most important one.

There can't be any antonym of amnesia, because amnesia is a noun and nouns don't have antonyms.

And, for future reference, an antonym is the opposite of something, such as hot and cold. Hot is the antonym of cold.

Sorry for your confusion on antonyms.

Answer 2:

I understand the confusion of the question.

Amnesia: loss of a large block of interrelated memories; complete or partial lossof memory

caused by brain injury, shock, etc.

"loss of memory," 1786 (as a Greek word in English from 1670s), ModernLatin, coined from Greek amnesia "forgetfulness," from a-, privative prefix,"not" (see a- (3)) + mimneskesthai "to recall, cause to remember," areduplicated form related to Greek mnemnon "mindful," mneme "memory,"mnasthai "to remember;" from PIE root *men- "to think, or remember"

Every noun has an opposite or antonym, for instance:

Light : darkness

Angel : demon

Man : beast

Hence the opposite amnesia is not forgetfulness, but is instead mnemme or mnasthai (memory or remembering). Technically amnesia is an anto-nym for forming memory. If you experience anything beyond acute amnesia, then you need to seek the aid of a licensed professional to prevent it from worsening and to aid your recovery. Unfortunately some forms of amnesia remain irreversible in modern science- such as amnesia brought about by brain damage. The most common form amnesia is very acute and occurs in most people awakening from a dream, in which the person slowly or rapidly forgets the experiences that occurred throughout the duration of the dream. Another example of a form of acute amnesia is forgetting where you last set your keys.
