Find Out If You Have Dissociative Amnesia

I'm back with another form of Dissociation: Dissociative Amnesia. You may commonly ask yourself why you can't remember things? Or do you have memory loss? These could be signs of dissociative amnesia, a common type of dissociation that differs from other types like maladaptive daydreaming, depersonalization and derealization. In this video I'm talking you through what is dissociative amnesia, types of dissociative amnesia and treatment of dissociative amnesia.

What is Dissociative Amnesia & and what are the treatment options?
Frequently I am asked questions like this:
Why can't I remember my childhood?
What does it mean that I don't remember?
Does trauma cause memory loss?

There are three major dissociative disorders defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published by the American Psychiatric Association:

Dissociative amnesia. The main symptom is memory loss that's more severe than normal forgetfulness and that can't be explained by a medical condition. You can't recall information about yourself or events and people in your life, especially from a traumatic time. Dissociative amnesia can be specific to events in a certain time, such as intense combat, or more rarely, can involve complete loss of memory about yourself.

Dissociative identity disorder. Formerly known as multiple personality disorder, this disorder is characterized by "switching" to alternate identities. You may feel the presence of two or more people talking or living inside your head, and you may feel as though you're possessed by other identities.

Depersonalization-derealization disorder. This involves an ongoing or episodic sense of detachment or being outside yourself — observing your actions, feelings, thoughts and self from a distance as though watching a movie (depersonalization). Other people and things around you may feel detached and foggy or dreamlike, time may be slowed down or sped up, and the world may seem unreal (derealization).
