Elisabeth suffers alot of DP and DR. She loses her sense of self to Sue, and loses contact with reality after Sue is made.
Also Sue starts to harm her and completely disconnect or dissociate from E. Might be a metaphor for DID or UID

Could be interpreted as disassociation, the main character stares off into space when thinking about her past or when contemplating things

yeah, actually. it was rough for me to watch. the mc loses time several times with events having happened she can’t explain. yes, it’s the demon and not real dissociation or derealization, but the effect is very similar.

VERY much so. Jackie has strong hallucinations from her overuse of steroids throughout the movie. At the end there’s also a very strange scene (which is supposed to sort of be a metaphor i guess and not reality) Jackie grows to be a giant, and Lou follows. It’s weird.

Yes alot of it too. to the point of it being triggering. Also Slater might suffer from a form of D.I.D since he is so split in being nice and downright psychotic

In episode 6, Louis dissociates while having sex with Lestat and says, "The numbness remained, hardened somehow into a dissociative shell, a vessel of acceptance, tortured rationalization."

yes, it’s a common theme in the show and part of most things to do with the Lonely. It’s most prominent in seasons 4 and 5, especially episodes 159, 170, and 181.

A lot, since the beginning. It's honestly well done and could be triggering, especially the connection to assisting to a traumatic event and going into dissociation right away, while others even don't realize or care

Oppenheimer disassociates/very harshly feels disconnected after his work succeeds- sound cuts out despite his peers being loud and celebrating. He is shown to not feel like he’s present in the moment
