“Concerning memory loss?”
Hi, my sister (13) told me something that sounds concerning. Today when she was walking home, she ended up somewhere else, a place she didn't know. She told me that she doesn't remember deciding, walking there and that she suddenly "came back to her senses". Luckily she decided to walk back and recognized her usual path. Can this get dangerous?

What you are describing could be as common as an individual being preoccupied or distracted by other thoughts, yet could be as complicated as a seizure like state. It would be best to have her talk with a psychiatrist and or neurologist about the experience in order to safely rule out more dangerous possibilities, as well as to prevent a future recurrence.
