Please provide a discussion response with APA citations and references to "Dissociative disorders are a group of mental health disorders identified in both the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). These disorders involve disruption in the integration of consciousness, memory, identity, emotion and behavior. Dissociation from an event is an involuntary defense mechanism that is often a result of trauma. This can also occur because of substance use and from stress. Common comorbidities include borderline personality disorder (17% comorbid), schizophrenia (16.3%), substance use disorder, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and somatoform disorders (Yang, 2023). Separation from the event is a means of protection from the trauma. There is a diagnosis for unspecified dissociative disorder, which applies to individuals who do not meet criteria for a specific dissociative disorder. Specific diagnoses include dissociative identity disorder (DID), Dissociative Amnesia, and depersonalization-derealization disorder (DPDR or DDD). DID was previously known as multiple personality disorder. It was popularized by Cybil, a 1973 book about a woman who contended with 16 distinct personalities. It still remains a controversial diagnosis to today due to many misunderstandings and misconceptions about the disorder. Some evidence indicates that individual memory is not affected during these states. Need Assignment Help?
