Im sorry kitty, we cant tell you whether you have DID or any other mental or physical health problem...it is you that must tell us if you have it.

for diagnosis of your problems you will need to contact a treatment provider ie a medical doctor, therapist or psychiatrist in your off line location.

what I can tell you is that even normal people have "parts" of their self that resemble having alters. especially so in teens due to puberty and normal growing of their minds.

yes teenagers can be diagnosed with DID ***if**** they fit the diagnostic criteria which can be found here ..

As you can see by the link it takes more than having "alters" to being DID. these alters have to be a special kind, the forgetfulness has to be a special kind and the reason for them cant be because of other problems like drugs, alcohol, epilepsy and other seizure disorders, or any other medical or mental health problem. the things that get a person diagnosed DID are exclusive to DID.

many teens that I know and have worked with who thought they were DID turned out to be things like normal, puberty, growing/maturing/ and other normal identiy problems. so please dont feel bad if what you think is DID turns out to be not DID.

my suggestion is be honest with your doctor and psychologist.. you dont know if you have it so you would like to go through the testing for it.

you will have to go through many tests like blood tests for drugs alcohol and any medical problems that share or cause the same symptoms you are having, there will be lots of brain scans under many different situations,

your psychologist will also need to see you switch into these alters uncontrollably.. that doesnt mean the alters need to do uncontrollable things like lashing out in anger, breaking things, crawling under stuff like you see in movies and books. it means when your psychologist triggers you,you switch into these alters with no help, willingness or trying from you, switching just happens. the good part is since you already have a psychologist if you are DID they already have documentation of times when your "personality" has changed from how you normally are to an alter. your school records will also have documentation to times when the teachers have witnessed your behavior /personality has changed in classes. a teacher notices when a normally quiet person changes to being outspoken, or funny or different.. this is because DID is not one of those disorders that a person suddenly and unexpectedly gets like getting a cold.

if you have it, its been there since before you were 5 yrs old. getting the diagnosis wont change anything that hasnt already been happening. it gives a name to whats been there all along.
