mindwiped
Mentally reset forcibly
Mindwiped describes having one's memory erased or consciousness reset, typically by some external force or technology.
The term comes from science fiction, where characters might be mindwiped by aliens, governments, or machines: The agent was mindwiped after the mission.
It extends figuratively to feeling mentally blank or depleted: I was so exhausted I felt completely mindwiped.
