>>11772306Just speculating from experience from my dad. But when he came down with psychosis he could remember things that bothered him in so much detail he forgot about everything great that happened. The neurons that held the negative thoughts were so beefy and strong that it weakened the old good memories that didn't really serve a purpose anymore. And anything that 'triggered' these thoughts like looking at him wrong or holding a pen the wrong way around would further more create new negative thoughts and strengthen the constant negative and crazy delusions that went through his mind.
But yeah, that's coming from me and I currently only have a very basic understanding of neuroscience.
The weird thing is, he can remember things that I can't. Or wouldn't even think to remember. I received a text from him asking me a question about why I asked him this certain question when I was 10 years old. The question I asked was "moving into this new decision was the worst decision ever". He wanted me to elaborate, but I didn't even know why. Also, me asking this question lead to the question, asking if I was gay because I got sexually abused by George Pell who is some Aussie priest who I have no clue of.
The poor guy, I do feel for him. I can't believe he's able to roam the streets though.
