    There’s a common misconception that trauma is the main cause of childhood amnesia. A logical assumption but is completely unfounded.

    Fun quote from that article, you absolute scholar

      I did say usually, I didn’t say only cause you muppet.

      And did you actually read the article?

      But if there are significant memory gaps that may be related to childhood trauma—it may be time to seek support. A therapist is a great place to start. If you sense there’s a medical issue causing your memory loss, give your doctor a call.

      Trauma is a cause, but it’s unfounded for the main cause. Which I never stated, maybe read the entire article and don’t take a specific quote out of context…?

        Unfounded means it isn’t usually. It means there is no correlation. It’s not usually.

          There’s a sentence before that with a major detail you are ignoring.

          Unfounded for the main cause, it’s still a cause of the amnesia.

          See this quote further down…. You did actually read the article… yeah…? You aren’t just taking a quote of context and using that for the entire basis of your asinine argument… are you…?

          But if there are significant memory gaps that may be related to childhood trauma—it may be time to seek support. A therapist is a great place to start. If you sense there’s a medical issue causing your memory loss, give your doctor a call.

          So yes, it is absolutely a cause as that SHOULD prove without a doubt….

            Unfounded for the main cause

            Which means not usually.

            That it could be caused doesn’t mean it is usually caused.
