As a result of her exposure to trauma, it appears that Precious suffered from a dissociative disorder. This condition disrupted her awareness and perception of self. When stressors became unbearable, Precious would ascend into an alternate reality and return when circumstances became safer.

She often slipped into an alternate reality where she was adored and one in which her mother saw her as something more than an object. Yet another example of the wide ranch of reactions includes Precious abuse of food. Precious’s life was in chaos.
