What are the common types of dissociative disorders?

Common types of dissociative disorders include dissociative identity disorder (DID), dissociative amnesia, and depersonalization-derealization disorder.

Dissociative identity disorder involves the presence of two or more distinct personality states or identities.

Dissociative amnesia is characterized by gaps in memory related to personal information or traumatic events.

Depersonalization-derealization disorder involves persistent feelings of detachment from one's body or surroundings.

Each type affects how individuals experience and respond to reality, often as a coping mechanism for trauma or stress.
