Step-by-step explanation:
Dissociative amnesia disorder comprises a disease in which a person is unable to recall important information about himself. This is different from normal habit to forget things and is of stressful or traumatic nature and can not be easily understood.
Dissociative amnesia disorder can affect the person of any age but it is specially difficult to diagnose in preadolescent children. The preadolescent period is basically a period when a child is 10–13 years, like when it ends, puberty starts.
So why Dissociative Amnesia is especially difficult to diagnose in preadolescent children is because that is the time of life when the children are not able to recall recall autobiographical events that happened before the age of 5.
Moreover, this period of life can be confused with oppositional behavior, disturbances in behavior, anxiety, inattention and developmentally appropriate childhood amnesia (in which it is difficult to recall autobiographical events that happened before the age of 5. ).
Therefore, a strict evaluation or observation by authentic examiners like therapists,teachers and physicians should be conducted to efficiently diagnose Dissociative Amnesia in children.
