TIME TO WAKE UP ! ;) The only " ऊपरी हवा" there used to be has already been breached and the modern society has reached Mars. There is no such thing as - ऊपरी बाधा भूत-प्रेत ऊपरी हवा पितृदोष ऊपरी चक्कर All these are symptoms of fully treatable condition called dissociative disorder which will be discussed below - Dissociative Disorders Dissociative disorders are conditions that involve a disconnection between thoughts, identity, consciousness, and memory. These disorders are often triggered by trauma and can disrupt a person's sense of self and functioning. The International Classification of Diseases (ICD), published by the World Health Organization (WHO), classifies various types of dissociative disorders. Here’s an overview: 1. Dissociative Trance and Possession Disorder (ICD-10 Code: F44.3) Dissociative Trance and Possession Disorder involves temporary loss of a person's identity, where the individual acts as if possessed by another identity or spirit. Symptoms: -Temporary alteration in identity, with the person acting as if possessed. -A sense of being controlled by another spirit, force, or identity. -Sudden, unexpected changes in behavior, often with amnesia for the episode. -Unresponsiveness to external stimuli while in the trance or possession state. -The behavior often differs significantly from the individual's usual actions and mannerisms. -Episodes may last for varying lengths of time and are often triggered by extreme stress, trauma, or culturally specific beliefs in spirit possession. 2. Multiple Personality Disorder (Dissociative Identity Disorder) (ICD-10 Code: F44.81) This disorder, also known as dissociative identity disorder (DID), involves the presence of two or more distinct identities or personalities, each with its own behavior, memories, and thoughts. Symptoms: - Presence of multiple distinct identities or personalities. - Gaps in memory for everyday events or personal information. - Sudden shifts in mood, behavior, and preferences. - Identities may have different names, genders, ages, or characteristics. - Alter personalities take control of behavior at different times. 3. Dissociative Fugue (ICD-10 Code: F44.1) Dissociative fugue is a rare disorder in which individuals suddenly travel away from home or work, often assuming a new identity, and cannot recall their past. It often occurs after a stressful event or trauma. Symptoms: - Sudden, unexpected travel away from home or workplace. - Inability to recall one's past or previous identity. - Possible assumption of a new identity. - Confusion about current circumstances. - Lack of awareness that the behavior is unusual. 4. Dissociative Motor Disorders (ICD-10 Code: F44.4) In dissociative motor disorders, individuals experience a loss of the ability to move parts of the body, despite normal physical functioning. Symptoms: - Sudden paralysis or weakness in limbs. - Inability to speak or use voice (dissociative aphonia). - Involuntary movements such as tremors or spasms. - Loss of coordination or balance. - Absence of any neurological cause for the motor symptoms. 5. Dissociative Convulsions (ICD-10 Code: F44.5) Dissociative convulsions also know as Non epileptic attack disorder (NEAD) resemble epileptic seizures but lack the neurological basis of epilepsy. These episodes may be triggered by stress or trauma. Symptoms: - Seizure-like movements without loss of consciousness. - Convulsions not associated with abnormal brain activity. - Jerky movements or falling down without physical harm. - Absence of post-episode confusion typical of epilepsy. - Triggered by psychological factors, not physical. 6. Dissociative Anaesthesia and Sensory Loss This disorder involves a loss of sensation, typically in a body part, without any physical explanation. It often occurs after psychological trauma. Symptoms: - Loss of sensation (e.g., touch, pain) in specific body areas. - Numbness in limbs, face, or other body parts. - Sudden blindness or deafness without medical cause. - Sensory impairments that do not align with normal neuroanatomy. 7. Depersonalization-Derealization Disorder Depersonalization-derealization disorder involves persistent feelings of detachment from oneself (depersonalization) or the environment (derealization), often making the person feel as if they are watching themselves from outside their body. Symptoms: - Feeling detached from one's own thoughts, emotions, or body (depersonalization). - Feeling like the world around is unreal, distant, or distorted (derealization). - Emotional numbness or a sense of being on autopilot. - Difficulty recognizing oneself in the mirror. - Persistent sense of unreality even during normal activities.
