I know its hard. here in america many people with all kinds of dissociative disorders are also receiving and being treated for things other than dissociative disorders..

here in america the reason behind this is because the new diagnstic criteria for mental disorders here in america (and other countries that may also be using the new DSM 5 diagnostic criteria) the dissociative disorders now include a diagnostic criteria that states the problems can not be better explained by other mental or physical health problems/diagnosis.

this means treatment providers have to actually look at other mental and physical problems....before...they slap the dissociative disorder label on that person.

example...

I tend to get dissociative like symptoms with some medications. in the past I had the diagnosis of depersonalization when this symptom was active. Now because of the new standards of diagnosing mental disorders symptoms my treatment providers had to assess whether the dissociative symptoms were due to a dissociative disorder or because of other mental or physical health reasons (ie depression, anxiety, psychosis, medications...)

the result is that my dissociative like symptoms that are due to medications are no longer called depersonalization. its now called .....a side effect due to medication.

treatment providers who are using the DSM 5 now have to make changes in how they diagnose people. and sometimes their doing this seems fantastic, stressful, unfair and down right wrong depending on the situation.

my suggestion contact your treatment providers and ask them how and why they diagnosed you with what they have rather than diagnosing and treating you with a dissociative disorder. it may be that they are seeing the problem differently then you, and maybe theres other problems besides the dissociative ones that they need to consider too.
