integraatiohäiriö

Integraatiohäiriö, also known as integration disorder, is a psychological condition where a person experiences a disruption in the integration of consciousness, memory, identity, emotion, perception, body representation, motor control, and behavior. It is often associated with trauma, particularly early-onset or prolonged trauma. Individuals with integration disorders may struggle to maintain a coherent sense of self and a consistent experience of reality.

Symptoms can vary widely and may include dissociation, amnesia, identity confusion, depersonalization, derealization, and sensory disturbances. These symptoms can manifest in response to triggers that remind the individual of the traumatic experience. The severity and nature of the integration disorder depend on the type, intensity, and duration of the underlying trauma. It is important to note that integration disorders are not a sign of weakness or a character flaw but rather a complex psychological response to overwhelming experiences. Diagnosis and treatment typically involve specialized psychotherapy aimed at processing trauma, integrating fragmented experiences, and developing coping mechanisms.
