Evidence based treatment & Patient-Centered Care.

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), formerly called multiple personality disorder, is a condition in which an individual experiences two or more distinct personalities. They are also known as ‘alters’ and may have their names, ages, memories, and even behaviors that are completely different from the patient and cause a lot of disturbance in the patient’s life. DID usually arises in cases of traumatic experiences, which occur mostly in childhood and it is the mind’s way of coping with the unbearable.

Common symptoms include:

  • Coexistence of two or more identities or personalities
  • Memory gaps or amnesia
  • Detaching from reality or the environment.
  • Inability to perform tasks in normal day-to-day life.

Why Treatment for DID is Essential

If left untreated, DID can cause significant functional impairment and impair an individual’s ability to experience emotional well-being, establish and maintain healthy relationships, and may develop other conditions, including anxiety and depression. Early treatment is essential to help individuals gain control over their dissociative episodes, reduce symptoms, and improve overall functioning.

Why Treatment for DID is Essential

The benefits of professional treatment include:

  • Reduced frequency of dissociative episodes
  • Greater emotional stability
  • Improved relationships with others
  • Improvement in the management of identity changes

Treatment Options for Dissociative Identity Disorder

We are glad to provide the following evidence-based treatments at Orlando Treatment Solutions for those with DID. We have some specialized programs to deal with dissociative experiences, to help the integration of different identities, and to work through traumatic experiences. Our treatment options include:

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT helps recognize the experiences of an individual with DID and enables the patient to embrace such experiences without prejudice and engage in activities that support the person’s values. ACT helps people develop mindfulness and psychological flexibility, enabling them to stay in the present and minimize dissociative symptoms.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT may also help in the management of dysfunctional thinking and behavior in patients with DID. CBT can therefore assist people to identify and change negative thinking and avoid dissociation and poor emotional management. This therapy aims at helping the individual to overcome symptoms and gain control of their lives.

Group Therapy

Through group therapy, patients suffering from DID can have a chance to communicate with other people who face the same problems. Group discussion helps the individual overcome the feeling of loneliness.

Family Therapy

Family therapy is an important component of the treatment in patients with DID. This therapy involves the family members of the patient to help them understand the disorder, improve communication, and build trust.

Mindfulness Meditation

For patients with DID mindfulness is useful for reducing dissociative experiences, enhancing their identity, and controlling their emotions. It means that they can be aware of the thoughts, and do not have to become their slaves.
