A quick definition of recovered-memory syndrome:

Recovered-memory syndrome, also known as repressed-memory syndrome, is a memory disorder where a person has trouble remembering important personal information, especially after a traumatic or stressful event. This disorder was first proposed by Sigmund Freud in 1895 and is now recognized by the American Psychiatric Association as dissociative amnesia. Some people may recover some or all of their memories later on, but the existence of this syndrome is controversial. Some studies suggest that "repressed" memories may be a result of suggestions made by mental-health therapists rather than actual experiences.

A more thorough explanation:

Recovered-memory syndrome is a memory disorder where a person has trouble recalling important personal information, especially related to a traumatic or stressful event. This condition is also known as repressed-memory syndrome or dissociative amnesia.

The idea of this syndrome was first proposed by Sigmund Freud in 1895. The American Psychiatric Association recognizes dissociative amnesia as a medical term for this condition. However, the existence of this syndrome is controversial.

Some studies suggest that "repressed" memories may be a result of suggestions made by mental health therapists rather than actual experiences. Therefore, the authenticity of these memories is often questioned.

For example, a person who was sexually abused as a child may not remember the abuse until years later when they undergo therapy. However, some experts argue that the memories may have been suggested by the therapist rather than being a true recollection of the event.

It is important to note that the existence of this syndrome is still debated, and more research is needed to fully understand it.
