In my case, it's not unlikely my strongest memories are caused by birth complications. It's just emotions that remained, but they can be brought back by emotions. SZ, for example, has been linked to birth complications.

It could have caused biochemical, epigenetic changes as well as memories, which is basically the same thing. It depends on your definitions.

Science depends on definitions. I think mine of memory is most useful, properly/usefully reduced/broadened.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.

Thanks for this!
