Dissociative Disorders involve disruptions in consciousness, memory, identity, or perception of the environment. Individuals with dissociative disorders may experience a disconnection from reality as a way to cope with trauma or distress. Recognizing and addressing dissociation is crucial for comprehensive mental health care.
Symptoms include:
- Depersonalization (feeling detached from oneself)
- Derealization (feeling detached from the environment)
- Amnesia or gaps in memory
- Identity confusion or alter personalities
- Flashbacks to traumatic events
- Significant distress or impairment in daily functioning
Treatment for Dissociative Disorders often includes psychotherapy, particularly approaches like dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Establishing a trusting therapeutic relationship is essential.
