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).

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?

Why is dementia the disease of this contemporary time

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.
