Self disorders

Disorders of the self, or intrapsychic disorders, are the general name for disturbances in the patient's perception of himself, his past, present and future. Dissociation describes the external behavior of an individual outside his field of attention associated with the present.

The patient discovers that he is different from other people, and at the same time does not feel any relation to them. The main negative effect of a depersonalized state is the loss of a sense of connection with oneself, one’s place in life, as well as a sense of satisfaction with life.
