Few Indian studies have explored the sociodemographic variables of dissociative disorder (convulsion), which may be dramatic in presentation causing significant socio-economical and emotional difficulties to patients and care-givers. This prospective study hopes to explore the sociodemographic variables in normal EEG-disssociative disorder (convulsion). The study was conducted from January 2004 to September 2004 in the psychiatry outpatients department (OPD) of Nil Ratan Sircar Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata. After screening by history, astute clinical examination and application of predetermined inclusion and exclusion criterion, 41/52 patients were finally selected for the study. Written consent was taken from all the patients. They were then evaluated to elicit necessary information required in the semistructured proforma. Data were analysed by using appropriate statistical method ie, Z-test. The present study suggested that dissociative disorder (convulsion) predominantly affected females, mostly housewives and students, coming from rural, low socio-economic conditions with poor educational background. Majority of the patients presented acutely. Depressive disorder was the most common comorbid psychiatric abnormality. The findings of the present study were in tune with the findings of the few earlier studies available.
很少有印度的研究探讨分离性障碍（惊厥型）的社会人口统计学变量，其临床表现可能很显著，给患者和护理人员带来重大的社会经济和情感困难。这项前瞻性研究希望探讨脑电图正常的分离性障碍（惊厥型）的社会人口统计学变量。该研究于2004年1月至2004年9月在加尔各答的尼尔·拉坦·西卡尔医学院和医院的精神科门诊进行。通过病史筛查、敏锐的临床检查以及应用预先确定的纳入和排除标准后，最终从52名患者中选出41名进行研究。所有患者均签署了书面同意书。然后对他们进行评估，以获取半结构式表格中所需的必要信息。使用适当的统计方法即Z检验对数据进行分析。本研究表明，分离性障碍（惊厥型）主要影响女性，大多是家庭主妇和学生，来自农村、社会经济条件差且教育背景不佳。大多数患者起病急。抑郁症是最常见的共病精神异常。本研究的结果与早期少数现有研究的结果一致。
