A few years ago when seeing a psychiatrist for medication, he completely (on the first visit) ruled out DID and automatically threw epilepsy into my group of DX's even though I had never had a confirmed nor what looked like seizure for my whole life. Not to mention no one at all related to me has ever had a seizure, and no head traumas.
Well it just so happens this past August I had a grand mal seizure. I had my second seizure two weeks ago so I went to a therapist because the seizures are causing so much stress. The t at first ruled out DID until the end of the session and now he's pretty convinced I have DID. (I've been diagnosed with it by numerous doctors over the last 10 years so that dx is nothing new.)
The new t thinks that the seizures could possibly be another form of dissociation. He didn't get into too much detail since the first visit was mostly paper work but he was pretty convinced of my DID by the end of the hour and pretty convinced my DID contributed to these seizures.
Has anyone else heard of anything similar to this? I have to be honest, the feeling of going into the seizures is very similar as it is when I go into my blackouts which range from minutes to an entire year. I guess it all seems relatively similar, even coming out of it.
I'm back at the denial of DID again, it's a never ending cycle for me in this.
