My therapist told me months ago that I most likely have dissociation from my PTSD. What is dissociation though? I read that people with bipolar, autism, and schizophrenia may have dissociation so maybe I had it at some point? Also, I noticed on this forum a lot of people deal with memory problems from it. Can you have dissociation after a manic episode? I often forget what I'm like during my episodes and my old psychiatrist was so angry about this. He tried to deem me as unsafe because of my memory problems and tried to take my driver's license away, but I was able to keep it. Is this problem severe ADHD or dissociation? I know when I'm forgetful about silly things that's ADHD, but is that the reason for my lack of memory from manic episodes and melt diowns? Why am I so forgetful?
