I was originally diagnosed with d.i.d in the early 80's...but at that time it wasn't in the famous DSM ( is that the right book I'm looking for?) book and insurance wouldn't pay. I usually got diagnosed with the " catch all diagnosis of " schizo-affective disorder." Once we were correctly diagnosed and am getting the proper treatment we are getting better...we like every body else have our good days and our bad days.I have been blessed, I have a T now that has 20 years experience with d.i.d and SRA survivors.....now this T is good she can spot a "switch" immediately... Take care Trauma units are very good and the staff are well trained . Let us know how you are doing....life

O this is where we talked about it! See I didn't even see this till after I wrote about Sheppard Pratt. We must have just both been thinking about Sheppard Pratt. In different manners. =D Sheppard Pratt is a good program, I'm just not interested right now.
