Complex dissociation following maternal suicide attempt in a 17-year-old female: a case report
This case highlights a rare presentation of dissociative amnesia with stupor and conversion disorder. The diagnosis was initially challenging owing to amnesia masking the stressor. Careful exclusion of organic causes and thorough psychological assessment were key. This case underscores the importance of identifying underlying trauma in complex dissociative presentations.
