About Us

Dissociative disorders (DD) are mental conditions that lead to disruptions or breakdown of memory, awareness, identity or perception. People with dissociative disorders use dissociation as a defence mechanism involuntarily. It is also true pathologically. A loss of memory and amnesia happen. Dissociative disorders involve problems with memory, identity, emotion, perception, behavior and sense of self. These symptoms can potentially disrupt every area of mental functioning. In some cases, symptoms include the experience of detachment or a feeling as if one is outside one’s own body.

Many of these patients who have a childhood experience of physical or sexual abuse have an increased risk of dissociative identity disorder. A majority of them who have this disorder have experienced repetitive, overwhelming trauma in childhood. They tend to indulge in Suicide or suicidal thoughts and attempts. They also have self-injurious behavior. Dissociative disorders are frequently associated with previous experience of trauma.

Treatment at Suraksha typically involves psychotherapy. Under the able care of Dr Suresh, such therapies can help people gain control over the dissociative process and symptoms. The therapy is aimed to integrate the different elements of identity. At Suraksha hospital, our main goal is to improve their ability to function and live a productive, fulfilling life.
