Symptoms of dissociation resulting from trauma may include depersonalization, psychological numbing, disengagement, or amnesia regarding the events of the abuse. It has been hypothesized that dissociation may provide a temporarily effective defense mechanism in cases of severe trauma; however, in the long term, dissociation is associated with decreased psychological functioning and adjustment.
Signs of dissociation include: 1  Mental health problems such as depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts and actions. 2  A sense of detachment from oneself; seeing one's life as if it is a movie. 3  An unclear sense of identity. 4  Significant stress or problems in relationships, work or other important areas of your life.
