Answer:

Malcolm is showing signs of retrograde amnesia.

Explanation:

Amnesia is a memory disorder that causes the individual to lose everything stored in the frontal, temporal and parietal lobes throughout his or her life. Memory loss may be partial when the individual temporarily remains unaware of his past; or total, when you no longer remember and there are no more possibilities for past recall.  Amnesia is usually caused by some kind of degenerative neurological disease or problems related to the parts of the brain responsible for storing information.

A specific type of amnesia is being shown by Malcolm, retrograde amnesia that can be conceptualized as the type of amnesia where the individual remembers only the events that occurred after the trauma, forgetting the past events. Malcolm forgot that he had already watched episodes of his favorite tv show after receiving electroconvulsive shock therapy.

How to deal with extreme test anxiety? Some people do so well... I study and all but it always ends up the opposite way for me.
Lerok [7]

You need to learn to stop comparing yourself to others. Easier said than done, but, you need to realize that everyone is different. I'm still trying to work on this myself because I always see other classmates doing so well and getting high marks and it makes me feel down about myself. But, I have been working on reminding myself that I am different from them and I have my own journey. My classmates are not me and I don't need to be like them. I'm now focusing on myself rather than comparing myself to them. Focus on yourself more and stop worrying about other people. Try mindfulness meditation to help you calm down before and after the test. Try not to pressure yourself too much before the test. Again, easier said than done but it would really help. If it helps, try going to therapy.

Ostrovityanka [42]
Hi!
These feelings are common symptoms of a depressed client. An effective plan of care to enhance the client's personal self-esteem is to provide experiences for the client that are challenging, but that will not be met with failure. Reminders of the client's past accomplishments or personal successes are ways to interrupt the client's negative self-talk and distorted cognitive view of self. Options 1 and 2 give advice and devalue the client's feelings. Silence may be interpreted as agreement.
