What is dissociation?
Dissociation is a psychological process in which a person experiences a disconnection or detachment from their thoughts, feelings, memories, or sense of identity. It is often a coping mechanism that the mind uses to protect itself from overwhelming stress or trauma. Dissociation can occur on a spectrum, ranging from mild, everyday experiences to more severe forms associated with dissociative disorders.
Mild dissociation is relatively common and can manifest as daydreaming, "zoning out," or feeling detached from one's surroundings. This type of dissociation is usually harmless and temporary.
In more severe cases, dissociation can lead to dissociative disorders, such as dissociative amnesia, depersonalisation/derealisation disorder, or dissociative identity disorder (formerly known as multiple personality disorder). These disorders involve more significant disruptions in a person's sense of self, memory, or perception of reality, and can significantly impact daily functioning.
