“…A study showed that among the subscales of the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised, the highest mean score among women with infertility was for somatization (50).

“…For example, Schlarb et al (2017) found somatic complaints in 23.5% of university students. Somatic symptoms directly affect quality of life (Ammati et al, 2019), life satisfaction (Parletta et al, 2016), marital discord, financial problems and social status (Obimakinde et al, 2015) and educational achievement (Hiller et al, 2006). As most of the patients (70%) are women (Obimakinde et al, 2015) and youth (Eliasen et al, 2016), female students are more likely to be affected.…”

Background Dissociative disorder is a condition characterized by disruption of the normal continuity and integration of consciousness, memory, identity, motor functioning, and behavior. Aims The aim of the study was to study the various psychosocial factors that influence the dissociative episodes in patients. We also looked at the clinical profile and the relation between the type and levels of dissociation with levels of stress in the study sample. Materials and Methods This descriptive, cross-sectional study with serial sampling had 50 participants who were diagnosed with dissociation as per the International Classification of Diseases-10 criteria. The study was conducted after obtaining clearance from the institutional ethics committee. Dissociative experience of the patients was measured using Severity of Dissociative Symptoms-Adult (Brief Dissociative Experiences Scale [DES-B]-Modified) and stress levels were measured using Presumptive Stressful Life Events Scale. Results The study showed that dissociation was more common among females from urban population, who were single and among students. Dissociative convulsions were found to be the most common type of dissociation in our culture. DES-B showed moderate-to-severe types of dissociative experience in the sample. In 46% of the participants, family conflicts acted as the most common stressor precipitating episodes. There was a psychodynamic connection/explanation between the perceived stress and the presenting complaint. Conclusion This study highlights the common dissociations, stressors, and the difference seen among males and females. There is a need to understand the stressors of a patient presenting with dissociation for better psychological management.
