Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dissociative disorders involve a disruption or alteration in consciousness, identity, memory, perception, motor control, or a combination of these functions. This disconnection from reality can lead to various symptoms, such as feeling detached from one's body or surroundings, experiencing gaps in memory, or presenting with different identities or personalities. Therefore, choice B is the most accurate option as it encompasses the main feature of dissociative disorders. While depersonalization (choice A), a feeling of being outside oneself or observing oneself from a distance, can occur in dissociative disorders, it is not always present. Choices C and D may also apply to some dissociative symptoms, but they do not capture the overall nature of the disorder.
