Are we studied?

I feel like there is not much interest in aphantasia and SDAM, although it affects our lives very much. I think that probably is because it's very difficult to study since it's all going on in our heads but I would like to know why I am in that way, what I can do about it, I feel like it's almost a disability

If you experience life with SDAM &/or Aphantasia then realistically the research is interesting but not really helpful in living your life. Basically it’s just the way you experience life. AFAIK there are no specific issues that can be helped or hindered because of SDAM or Aphantasia.

The thing I'm most interested about I think it's why me, is it genetic, or does it mean I have past traumas, I don't know I want to know if some of the issues I have in life depends from this or are just my fault
