Stressful life event presenting as enuresis, dissociative disorder and worsening school performance.

ABSTRACT

Stressful life events are associated with various psychiatric problems. Secondary enuresis and dissociative disorders both may appear in context of traumatic life events. These problems following a trauma may further increase the risk of stress in the family and may in turn result into a vicious cycle of difficulties. We present a case report of stressful life events presenting as enuresis, dissociative disorder and worsening school performance and careful appreciation of situations and rigorous interventions improved the clinical status.
