   • Selective Memory
   • Cultural Identity
   • The minds can suppress or fragment painful family memories due to secrecy, geographical change and historical erasure, leading to a distortion of the reality of the past and an uncertain search for one's roots. The difficulty in accessing and reconstructing these memories affects the sense of belonging and the understanding of one's own history.

   • Nostalgic impression
   • History
   • "Another reason is that we often confuse personal nostalgia with the historical sort. When were the good old days? Was it by chance the one incredibly short period in mankind’s history when you were alive and, more importantly, young"
     • Our minds distort past reality through nostalgia, idealizing the “good old days” and obscuring the difficulties and anxieties that existed. This distortion serves personal and collective psychological purposes, but can lead to misinterpretations of the present and the past in politics and society.
   • Personal memories are selective and tend to idealize the past, with negative events being forgotten over time.

   • "Alzheimer’s disease is a type of brain disease, just as coronary artery disease is a type of heart disease. It is caused by damage to nerve cells (neurons) in the brain. The brain’s neurons are essential to all human activity, including thinking, talking and walking. In Alzheimer’s disease, the neurons damaged first are those in parts of the brain responsible for memory, language and thinking, which is why the first symptoms tend to be memory, language and thinking problems."
     • Our brain, affected by Alzheimer's disease, suffers damage to the neurons, especially in the areas responsible for memory, language and thought, leading to a progressive distortion of reality. This distortion impacts on the individual's ability to carry out everyday tasks and requires significant care.
