Everything You Need To Know About Dissociative Identity Disorder

Treatment Goals

As mentioned in this article, there is no medication specifically made for treating dissociative identity disorder, but existing drugs for the symptoms can be combined to facilitate the therapy treatment. There are three phases of treatment: the first step is to stabilize the patient, then together they work on the patient's trauma, and finally, they can be integrated into their surroundings. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of the patient and to relieve them from their symptoms. To get there, a patient with multiple personalities can reconnect all of them into one well-functioning identity, become able to express and process their traumatic memories, develop healthy coping skills, improve their relationships, and function fairly well.
