These patients were recruited from Al-Ain and Tawam Teaching Hospitals and Al-Jahili Primary Health Care Centers in Al-Ain, United Arab Emirates. The study is based on a questionnaire that included sociodemographic and clinical variables. Dissociative disorders were diagnosed according to the classification set forth in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) of the World Health Organization. &lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt; Of the 468 patients studied, the majority (67.9%) were young, under the age of 25 years; 55% were UAE nationals, 59.4% female and 40.6% male. Disorganized movement was significantly lower among females (34.2%) than males (44.2%, p &lt; 0.03). Disapproving of the key relative behaviour was higher in females (24.1%) compared to males (13.2%); comorbid anxiety was higher in females (37.4%) vs. males (25.3%). Disturbed relationships were more common in females (40.3%) while precipitating factors, such as intolerable stressful events, were significantly higher in males (42.6%, p &lt; 0.01). Furthermore, males (20.5%) had a significantly higher history of similar episodes and other psychiatric illnesses (7.5%) than females. Finally, females (41%) showed more statistically significant improvements compared to males (29.5%, p &lt; 0.001). &lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt; Patients under 25 years of age suffered more from dissociative disorders with no correlation to educational level as a predisposing factor. The most common symptoms were fits or unorganized movements.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000094270","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,8,4]],"date-time":"2006-08-04T21:42:43Z","timestamp":1154727763000},"page":"362-367","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Sociodemographic and Clinical Characteristics of Patients with Dissociative Disorders in an Arabian Society"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Abdulbari","family":"Bener","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abul Gasim","family":"Saad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rosetta","family":"Micallef","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Suhaila","family":"Ghuloum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sufyan","family":"Sabri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,8,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037%2F0021-843X.100.3.366"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F00005053-199611000-00004"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023%2FA%3A1024493332751"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023%2FA%3A1024457819547"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192%2Fbjp.182.5.428"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037%2F0021-843X.106.4.499"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F00005053-198612000-00004"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176%2Fappi.ajp.157.6.1012"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0010-440X%2896%2990017-6"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1600-0447.1986.tb02742.x"}],"container-title":["Medical Principles and Practice"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/94270","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/94270","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T02:30:02Z","timestamp":1745461802000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000094270"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2006]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,8,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000094270","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1011-7571","1423-0151"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"1011-7571"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1423-0151"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2006]]}}}
