Does Childhood Incest Create Mental Health Disorders in Adulthood?

Memory is major school of retaining and recalling past experiences. A repressed memory is one that is retained in sub conscious mind, in which one is not aware of it but where it can still affect conscious thoughts, memory, and behavior.

Some people have made an effort to explain their pain. Even cancerous disease, was known to form in some through repressed memories of incest in body. Scientists have studied associated phenomenon such as people whose hands bleed in certain religious settings. Presumably such people, called stigmatics, 'are not revealing unconscious memories of being crucified as young children, but rather are demonstrating the psychogenic abnormality that springs from their conscious fixation on suffering of Christ (Charon, 2002). Similarly, it is possible idea, that 'one was sexually abused might increase frequency of some physical symptoms, regardless of whether or not abuse really occurred' (Charon, 2002).

However numerous psychologists don't believe in this idea by 'False recollection' experts. Here are the couple of unproved, unscientifically studied notions that are being considered by doubtful psychologists: 'If you question that you were misused as the progeny or think that it might be your imagination, this is the sign of 'post-incest syndrome'. If you cannot remember any specific instances of being abused, but still have the feeling that something abusive happened to you, 'it probably did'. When the person cannot remember his or her childhood or have very fuzzy memories, 'incest must always be considered as the possibility'. If you have any suspicion at all, if you have any memory, no matter how vague, it probably really happened' (Jacobs, 2004)
