Most people experience mild dissociation like daydreaming, but can become severe when there is a lack of connection in a person’s thoughts, memories, feelings or actions (Comer, 2018). People with dissociation disorders tend to escape reality in involuntary and unhealthy ways (drugs.com).
Treatment for dissociative disorders may include psychotherapy and medication, but signs and symptoms depend of the type of dissociative disorder. Diagnosis involves assessments like physical and psychiatric exams, however, dissociative disorders is among the most challenging of mental disorders to disgnose and treat (Kluft, 1999).
People sometimes may exaggerate symptoms for whatever reason but there are clinical tests that are used to help ensure that there is a proper diagnosis. Test that a clinician may use is the Personality Assessment Inventory scale, Negative Impression Management that helps detect exaggeration symptoms like memory and the multiple personalities (Brand, Weberman,Snyder, & Kalush, 2019).Another test that is used is the TOMM which is a visual recognition test that is given over a period of time to help test for genuine memory loss (Brand et. al, 2019)
This type of therapy will help show others that these people are not faking it. This therapy makes the person think of a situation that can trigger them and their personality will change right away. Clinicians believe that this disorder is very rare and that someone might get this disorder after a trauma or certain abuse occurred to them.
Women also experience changes in hormones due to childbirth such as postpartum depression that may contribute to the increase in numbers compared to men. Symptoms that women experience due to their premenstrual cycle may be anxiety, mood changes, headaches, and irritability. Some Women are also at risk of premenstrual dysphoric disorder when their premenstrual symptoms cross the line (Depression, 2020 ).
Western women especially are under regarding small body size and shape. The lack of control theory is about women feeling less in control of their lives than men. Finally, the rumination theory believes that women ruminate more than men which causes depression (Comer, 208). I believe all the theories have some validity but, I lean more towards the artifact theory. Women have more opportunity to see clinicians.
They see clinicians for birth control, during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care, and then if they have children they also see pediatricians who may ask after their welfare. Many men may only go to the doctor when they are sick. The primary reason for the visit would be sickness not screening for depression. Because men may exhibit anger as a sign of depression it may be more difficult for them to accept they are depressed. Like dissociative disorders, diagnosing depression in men may take some extra digging and evidence gathering before the diagnosis is accepted.
