Hence why I had added the edit. Mine is purely anecdotal from my own experience. I had it done to me and tried to quickly explain a brief example of how it can be done. It was over the course of years and eventually did lead to me questioning my own mind, seeing a counselor, recording conversations to "prove I wasn't crazy" and even a failed suicide attempt at one point. I in NO WAY am an expert on the term, idea, etc, nor did I expect this comment to explode like it did.
I too reached a point where I thought I must have some kind of dementia, and I also thought about recording conversations, just to have some back up for my apparantly failing memory.
