This article reviews clinical, phenomenological and epidemiological data on the disorders and diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations in patients with dissociative identity disorder. Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is characterized by the formation of additional personalities, which take control over human behaviour. A disruption of identity is associated with a distinct discontinuity in the sense of self and a sense of will. This disruption is accompanied by changes in affective state, behaviour, consciousness, memory or perception. The etiology of this disorder is not fully understood, although many data indicate that the experience of severe trauma plays a major role. The goal of dissociation is to avoid the feeling of negative emotions in response to trauma. Data indicate also the contribution of genetic factors in the pathogenesis of the disease. The estimated incidence of personality dissociation ...

God made man in paradise to live forever and then remain healthy in any sphere. Deficiencies, martyrdom, melancholy, suffering appeared at the time of the fall of man and falling into sin (sin of the forefathers). All religious practices are a bridge between the empirical world of matter and the transcendent spiritual world. In order to achieve full health, the coexistence of the spiritual and bodily sphere, and their coexistence, is extremely important. Man converts ontologically, turning away from the opposite pathological condition and returns to God, regaining the health of his nature. Initially, the spiritual heals, that is, the soul, then the psyche and somatics. Among the many saints, doctors have their patrons, while their patients many advocates in all sorts of diseases. Everyday many patients and doctors ask saints for support during the fight against diseases. The lives...

The current global situation related to the outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has contributed to reducing the detection of many forms of violence, including those against children. The detection of predisposing factors and alarming symptoms that can increase the vigilance of a pediatrician often involves careful examination and proper conversation with the caregiver, since it is he/she who spends the most time with a small patient and who can provide a lot of information about the behavioral changes of the child over time. However, it is important to be careful when formulating questions because the majority of child abusers are the people from the immediate surroundings of their victims. It is also crucial to be able to notice somatic symptoms and to assess the child's behavior at the doctor's office. Delays in recognizing victims of child abuse as well as time delayed psychological support can...
