Concept

My final chosen subject was dissociation.

 

Dissociation is a mental process where a person disconnects from their thoughts, feelings, memories or sense of identity. Dissociative disorders include dissociative amnesia, depersonalisation disorder and dissociative identity disorder.

 

There are three main dissociative disorders.

 

1. DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder):

   1. The existence of two or more distinct identities caused by childhood trauma

2. Depersonalisation/ Derealisation:

   1. Depersonalisation: The experience of being detached from your body or feeling like you’re watching yourself from an outsider's perspective.

   2. Derealisation: The experience of being detached from the people around you, as if you are in a dream.

3. Dissociative amnesia: 

   1. Not being able to recall information about oneself due to a traumatic or stressful event.
