amnesia

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'recalling difficulty' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'agitated international seaman' is the wordplay.
'agitated' is an anagram indicator.
'international' becomes 'i' (abbreviation eg in IMF).
'i'+'seaman'='iseaman'
'iseaman' is an anagram of 'AMNESIA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for amnesia that I've seen before include "Mental condition" , "Severe forgetfulness" , "illness" , "Medical condition" , "Main sea (anag.)" .)
