This is why a lot of cognitive psychologists study abnormal psychology. It's when things break that you can find out what's going on.
I do think being able to blank things out (including times of immense pain) is a feature that increases survival rather than a bug. If you are excessively afraid, your ability to pass on your genes goes down.

So that when they start studying the diseases they can learn to distinguish between a disease and a expected behaviour. So to know if something is an abnormal psychology, you need to first know what is normal.
