Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The underlying cause behind dissociative episode is stress. Everything happening during the episode is subconscious and as a result patient do not remember what happened during the episode. Treatment consist of psychological therapy and medication. Medications given are usually SSRI and they take care of underlying stress and thus helps in preventing further episodes.
