Somehow the great Austrian psychiatrist, psychologist Sigmund Freud uttered a phrase saying that all people come from childhood. In other words, any mental disorder , a disorder in the psyche occurs, first of all, by the fact that, for example, in childhood something went wrong, some psychological trauma was inflicted. Based on the last phrase, one should go on to consider such a concept as dissociative disorder. The most interesting is that women are more likely than men to suffer from this personal splitting. More precisely, it is 10 times more likely.
It will not be superfluous to note that the dissociative syndrome of personality splitting is part of a group of somatoform psychiatric disorders.
Symptoms of dissociative personality
During this mental state in a person there are at least two persons. Moreover, each of them has its own worldview, ways of communicating with the surrounding reality. Proceeding from this, there can be a misunderstanding: how in a person are two opposing persons in their views can live together? For such a mentally ill, attacks of amnesia are characteristic. Sometimes even important events such as birthday, wedding and other events can disappear from memory.
Moreover, sometimes a person can not understand how he found himself in this or that place, how he got here. Also, he unexpectedly finds himself in his own house things that he did not previously have. Thus, he can not understand why people who do not know him communicate as if they were old friends.
From time to time, unfamiliar voices appear in my head.
Causes of dissociative disorder
Personal multipleness is a response to a child's psychological trauma. Perhaps during this period something happened that is not able to survive the psyche of the child. As a result, she uses all sorts of protective methods, mechanisms that help to smooth out the events as much as possible. As a result, there is a split of consciousness, painful memories are forced into the subconscious, and within the person there is one more, if not more, personality .
It is important to say that such an image shows new emotions, as for a person. He has very different physiological characteristics, including even blood pressure.
Dissociative or conversion disorders occur against a background of various mental disorders (anxious, depressive).
