Aphantasia is when your brain doesn’t form or use mental images as part of your thinking or imagination. Experts don’t define aphantasia as a medical condition, disorder or disability. Instead, it’s a characteristic, much like which hand you naturally use to write.
I mean I’ve had it all along but wasn’t aware of anything being amiss such as this.
i think i have that too. i didnt use to, because i studied art and used mental images all the time. now i can not recall faces or anything. i think its the meds.
Found out pretty recently I might have a mild form of Synesthesia. Synesthesia is when you hear music, but you see shapes. Or you hear a word or a name and instantly see a color. Synesthesiais a fancy name for when you experience one of your senses through another. As a musician I’ve always thought about music in terms of patterns rather than sounds. Not sure if that counts or not.
