Personally I wouldn't describe it as a medical condition, it has no adverse effects at all, and I wouldn't want to "cure" it. Whats wrong with having a spectrum from no imagery to vivid imagery and accepting that mentally healthy people can be anywhere on that spectrum? This tendency to classify any variation between people as normal or abnormal is completely unnecessary in this case.
PS not meant as a personal attack at all :)
- eximius 8y agoYou've inherently assumed that a medical condition must be bad. It is, literally, a deviation from the normal human condition which is brought about by a medical abnormality. To identify it does not require fixing it. But to understand it, to study it, you must be able to classify it.
- 0xADEADBEE 8y agoI think this is a great point also. Something like Synesthesia is similar in not typically having adverse effects and it's helpful to have a taxonomy.
- 0xADEADBEE 8y agoI agree I think. And not at all - I think I could have chosen my words more carefully there!
