Because people like to forget.
lol. Won’t work if I use this as an excuse for my wife though

I mean honestly this is my true thesis.
I experienced my grandmother going through it and her repressed memories started coming out, paradoxically.
The repression's strain eventually materializes in the dementia. Scientists will disagree with me, but in a hundred years they'll reevaluate and will reclassify neurodegenerative diseases resulting from a sick spirit.

Sorry! I thought you said this in jest.
I’m sorry this happened to your granny. Was she aware of these suppressed memories? Did they torment her further?

It was truth packed into a joke.
I'm just interested in challenging the scientific view on most psychological diseases, as reductionist thinking denies the spirit, a lot of diseases are misunderstood imo. Alzheimer is one of them. I don't think the scientific approach is helpful in these cases. Along with the whole DSM-V classification and medication scheme.
They're all about repressing symptoms (objectivity) and avoiding root causes (subjectivity).
