"Cultural Perspectives" upgrade

With all due respect I find the "Cultural Perspectives" section of this article to be in need of a bit of improvement, both in terms of language and relevance to the article as a whole. I've fixed a few grammatical errors and made some improvements to the language but still find some sentences hard make sense of.

Hyperthymestic Syndrome section Suggestion Comment

Information in this section does not support the idea that this syndrome is a disorder as defined in the lead section of this article. The lead section states "Memory disorder is the result of damage to neuroanatomical structures that hinders the storage, retention and recollection of memories." Please explain how a superior memory is compatible with that quotation.1archie99 (talk) 02:31, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Cultural Perspectives feels like it could use improvement. There is a lot of focus on mental illness rather than memory disorders. Kmjohnson0521 (talk) 22:00, 6 May 2020 (UTC)kmjohnson0521[reply]

should dissociative amnesia be added?

It is technically a memory disorder (as well as a dissociative disorder), although the controversy behind it being a memory disorder should probably be noted. I beleive its still important to add (considering it has amnesia in the name), in addition the main symptoms of the disorder are associated with memory loss. If added dissociative fuge should be mentioned as well i beleive. VastV0idInSpace0 {have a great day!} (talk) 17:10, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
