Hello EliteMish4,

Dissociation is something that everyone does to some extend, it's a natural phenomenon that the brain learns to do. The bored driver of a car sitting in a traffic jam, the mind will naturally wander off. Children dissociate a lot. Trauma in childhood can lead to a child dissociating more in order to cope with what is going on. The problem comes when that dissociation (coping mechanism) then happens when it is no longer needed or happens when you don't want it too.

Please mention it to your psychiatrist, yes it can be related to your mental health, any trauma from the past or could even be due to the medication you are on, so it would be good to share.
