Recalling trouble seaman moves to curb current (7)

I believe the answer is:

amnesia

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

'recalling trouble' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'seaman moves to curb current' is the wordplay.
'moves' is an anagram indicator.
'to curb' means one lot of letters goes inside another (curb can mean to restrain or contain).
'current' becomes 'I' (symbol for electric current).
'seaman' anagrammed gives 'amnesa'.
'amnesa' going around 'i' is 'AMNESIA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for amnesia that I've seen before include "Asia men with memory loss (7)" , "Severe forgetfulness" , "Seaman I find suffering from memory loss" , "Failure to recall" , "Defect in memory" .)
