What is the treatment for dissociative identity disorder (DID)?

Some medications may help with certain symptoms of DID, such as depression or anxiety. But the most effective treatment is psychotherapy. A healthcare provider with specialized training in mental health disorders, such as a psychologist or psychiatrist, can guide you toward the right treatment. You may benefit from individual, group or family therapy.

Therapy focuses on:

• Identifying and working through past trauma or abuse.
• Managing sudden behavioral changes.
• Merging separate identities into a single identity.
