Objectives:
To study the incidence of Dissociative Stupor and Posession in a psychiatry population. To analyse the gender distribution and predominant age of presentation..  
Background:
Dissociative Disorders were suggested to be on the vain in earlier studies. The present study, when analysed for twelve years did show some decline but showed  boys outnumbering girls in preadolescent age group.To study the incidence and distribution of Dissociative Stupor and Posession in a psychiatry population. To analyse the gender distribution of the preadolescent age group..  
Materials and Methods:
All new patients attending a private psychiatry OPD at Lakhimpur Kheri, , were screened for Dissociative Disorder according to ICD 10, F44.2 and F44.3, from the 1st of JAN 2005 to 31st of DEC 2016. These subjects, only those presenting with fits of unconsciousness and possession, were analyzed and compared.
Results and Conclusions:
Out of a total of 57953 patients seen in this period of 12 years (32016 males and 25937 females) a total of 5312 presented with the above mentioned symptoms (1100 males and 4212 females) about 9.16%. This confirms that 79.2% females represented the subject group but in preadolescent group, there were 245 males as compared to 199 females, a ratio of 1.23:1 in favour of males. 
The results showed no decline. The study reconfirms that the symptoms are more prominent in adolescent and young females than males. The figure would be much higher if both conversion and dissociative symptoms are included.   The results of this present study of  fifteen years are yet to be finally analyzed.
