In controlled studies, non-specialised treatment that did not address dissociative self-states did not substantially improve DID symptoms, though there may be improvement in patients' other conditions.
Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is a mental health condition where you have two or more separate personalities that control your behavior at different times.
DID often co-occurs with other emotional conditions, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), borderline personality disorder (BPD), and a number of other personality disorders, as well as conversion disorder.
If you or someone you know is struggling with symptoms of DID or related trauma, seek help from a qualified mental health professional experienced in treating dissociative disorders. Recovery is possible, and support is available.
