What are the symptoms of dissociative disorders?

Symptoms of dissociative disorders can include memory loss, detachment from reality, and identity confusion.

Individuals may experience gaps in memory, feeling disconnected from themselves, or having multiple distinct identities.

Depersonalization involves feeling unreal or detached from one's body, while derealization involves feeling detached from surroundings.

Emotional numbness or a sense of detachment from significant events may also be present.

These symptoms often serve as a coping mechanism for overwhelming stress or trauma.
