Dissociative disorders

In dissociative disorders there is a temporary but drastic modification of a person’s character or sense of personal indentity.

Conditions that can present with dissociative symptoms include schizophrenia, TLE, depression, head injury, delirium, dementia, drugs and acute stress disorder.

Other features of TLE can include epigastric discomfort, jamais vu, and intense anxiety or depression.

LSD can cause hallucinations in any modality.

Hyperventilation and disproportionate worrying suggest acute stress disorder.
