People often suffer from emotional upheavals that cause unusual reactions such as not recognising the things around them, having a sort of personality crisis of who they are, and sometimes not recognising people they know well.

This disorder is sometimes also known as a type of dissociative disorder, which can cause mental and physical problems. Some of the disorders are brought on following an unresolved traumatic life event. The disorder may last a very short time, or weeks and months – and may just go away on its own. Symptoms may differ from person to person.
