Bu derleme çalışması, Dissosiyatif Kimlik Bozukluğu (DKB) hakkında mevcut literatürü incelemeyi ve bu bozukluğun etiyolojisi, tanı süreçleri, klinik özellikleri ve tedavi yaklaşımlarını değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. DKB, genellikle çocukluk çağı travmaları ve ciddi stres faktörleri ile ilişkilendirilen karmaşık bir ruhsal bozukluktur. Literatürde, DKB'nin yaygınlığı yaklaşık %1 olarak tahmin edilmekte olup, kadınlarda erkeklere göre daha fazla görüldüğü bildirilmektedir. DKB'nin etiyolojisi, genetik ve çevresel faktörlerin bir kombinasyonunu içermektedir. Çocukluk döneminde yaşanan travmatik olayların, özellikle istismar ve ihmalin, DKB gelişiminde önemli bir rol oynadığı gösterilmiştir. Nöroanatomik çalışmalar, DKB'li bireylerde hipokampus, amigdala ve diğer beyin yapılarında yapısal değişiklikler olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bu bulgular, travma ile ilişkili dissosiyatif bozuklukların biyolojik temellerine dair önemli ipuçları sunmaktadır. DKB'nin teşhisi, Dissosiyatif Deneyimler Ölçeği gibi çeşitli ölçüm araçları kullanılarak yapılmaktadır. Ancak, DKB belirtilerinin diğer psikiyatrik bozukluklarla örtüşmesi nedeniyle, doğru teşhis koymak oldukça zordur. Bu nedenle, DKB'nin tanı sürecinde dikkatli ve kapsamlı bir değerlendirme yapılması gerekmektedir. Tedavi açısından, DKB'nin spesifik olarak onaylanmış bir farmakolojik tedavisi bulunmamaktadır. Bunun yerine, tedavi genellikle psikoterapiye dayanmaktadır. Göz Hareketleriyle Duyarsızlaştırma ve Yeniden İşleme (EMDR) ve hipnoz gibi yöntemler, tedavi sürecinde önemli rol oynamaktadır. Bu yöntemler, alter kişiliklerin merkez kişilik ile bütünleştirilmesine ve bireyin işlevselliğinin artırılmasına yardımcı olmaktadır. Sonuç olarak, DKB karmaşık ve zor bir bozukluktur. Bu bozukluğun daha iyi anlaşılması ve tedavi edilmesi için daha fazla araştırma yapılması gerekmektedir. Literatürde mevcut bulgular, DKB'nin travmatik deneyimlerle sıkı bir ilişki içinde olduğunu ve genetik, nöroanatomik, psikososyal ve çevresel etkenlerin birlikte ele alınması gerektiğini göstermektedir. Bu tür bütüncül bir yaklaşım, DKB'nin anlaşılmasını ve tedavi edilmesini daha etkili kılacaktır.

A Little-Known Diagnosis 'Dissociative Identity Disorder': A Review

Öz

This review aims to examine the existing literature on Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and evaluate its etiology, diagnostic processes, clinical features, and treatment approaches. DID is a complex mental disorder often associated with childhood traumas and severe stress factors. The literature estimates the prevalence of DID to be around 1%, with a higher incidence in women compared to men. The etiology of DID involves a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Traumatic events experienced during childhood, especially abuse and neglect, play a significant role in the development of DID. Neuroanatomical studies have revealed structural changes in the hippocampus, amygdala, and other brain structures in individuals with DID. These findings provide important insights into the biological foundations of trauma-related dissociative disorders. The diagnosis of DID is made using various assessment tools, such as the Dissociative Experiences Scale. However, the overlapping symptoms of DID with other psychiatric disorders make accurate diagnosis challenging. Therefore, a careful and comprehensive evaluation is required in the diagnostic process of DID. In terms of treatment, there is no specifically approved pharmacological treatment for DID. Instead, treatment generally relies on psychotherapy. Techniques such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and hypnosis play significant roles in the treatment process. These methods help integrate alter personalities with the host personality and improve the individual's functionality. In conclusion, DID is a complex and challenging disorder. More research is needed to better understand and treat this condition. The current literature suggests that DID is closely related to traumatic experiences and that genetic, neuroanatomical, psychosocial, and environmental factors should be considered together. Such a holistic approach will enhance the understanding and treatment of DID.
