Dissociative Disorder is a category (group) of mental disorders.

with in the group name of dissociative disorder are many different mental disorders..

the mental disorders in this category / group / type of mental disorders called dissociative disorders are:

depersonalization
derealization
dissociative amnesia
dissociative Fugue
dissociative disorders not otherwise specified
dissociative Identity Disorder

each one of these dissociative disorders have their own symptoms and also share some symptoms.

dont panic or worry too much about you scoring as having dissociative symptoms..the sanity score quiz does not tell you that you have any mental disorders. its just a way to show your self where you are at during that moment when you took the test. it is not meant to take the place of going through actual diagnostic tests/ evaluations with a treatment provider.

another thing that may help you to understand your scoring is that dissociation is a normal thing. every one does this from the moment they are born to the moment that they die..

dissociation is just a mental health term for doing things like day dreaming, spacing off, feeling numb some times and other completely normal mental and physical feelings/ actions. what makes them not normal is the amount of time you spend day dreaming feeling numb and things like that.

dissociation can be caused by all kinds of things like your age process, stress, medications, work, school, boredom, all kinds of things.

only your treatment provider can say for sure whether you have a dissociative disorder or not.

my suggestion go according to what ever your doctors, therapists say your diagnosis is. because online tests are not meant for diagnosis. if you would like tyo know what your actual diagnosis is, you can tell your therapist you took the sanity score here and what the results were and ask them to schedule you for diagnostic evaluations to verify if you really do have the problems that the sanity score is pointing you towards or whether you were just having an off day, what ever,
