Childhood Disintegrative Disorder
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Childhood dissociative disorder is a mental health condition in which a child experiences a disconnection between their thoughts, memories, emotions, or sense of identity, often as a response to difficult experiences.
Signs that may be noticed: Gaps in memory about everyday events, a feeling of being absent or disconnected from their surroundings, abrupt changes in behavior, or accounts in which the child seems not to recognize situations they went through.
When to seek support? When these behaviors recur, interfere with school, play, or getting along with others, or cause distress to the child or their family.
Who provides support? Child mental health professionals and the pediatrician can guide the case. Reaching out to one of them in time helps understand what is happening and provide appropriate support to the child.
