Understanding Dissociative Disorders: Symptoms and Treatment Options
These conditions include escape from reality in ways that are not wanted and not healthy, causing problems in managing everyday life.
Dissociative disorders usually arise as a reaction to shocking, distressing, or painful events, including sexual abuse, and help push away difficult memories.
Dissociative disorders are recognized by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) as a range of conditions characterized by significant disruptions in consciousness, memory, identity, emotion, perception, body representation, motor control, and behavior.
The concept of dissociative disorders has been present in various forms throughout history. In ancient civilizations, dissociative symptoms were often attributed to spiritual or supernatural forces. For example, in ancient Greece, people who exhibited dissociative symptoms were believed to be possessed by spirits or gods.
You don't have to face dissociative disorders alone — compassionate, evidence-based care can help you regain stability and hope.
