Dissociation is a psychological phenomenon where
a person experiences a disconnection from their thoughts, feelings, memories,
or sense of identity. It is often a response to trauma or extreme stress,
serving as a coping mechanism to protect the individual from overwhelming
emotions or situations.
**Types of Dissociation:**
1. **Depersonalization**: A feeling of being
detached from oneself, as if observing one’s thoughts or body from outside.
2. **Derealisation**: A perception that the
external world is unreal or dreamlike.
3. **Dissociative Amnesia**: Inability to recall
important personal information, often related to traumatic events.
4. **Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)**:
Previously known as multiple personality disorder, this involves the presence
of two or more distinct identity states that control behaviour at different
times.
5. **Dissociative Fugue**: Sudden, unplanned
travel away from home with an inability to recall one’s past, sometimes
accompanied by the assumption of a new identity.
**Symptoms and Effects:**
- Memory gaps or loss of time.
- Feeling emotionally numb or detached.
- Difficulties in daily functioning and
relationship
