My doctor knows NOW that I have DID. He told me that he had figured it out a long time ago because he recognized the differences, sometimes I giggle during the exams other times I need his nurses hand to make it through. He said he didn't know if I knew I was DID so he didn't tell me when I was dissociating while with him. I remembered reading this post right before my last appointment with him and so I asked him what he would tell someone that had just been diagnosed and was worried about switching. He said he would say - you've had exams before the diagnosis and everything went ok so after the diagnosis everything will go ok. The only difference is the label not the person. His patient was DID before the diagnosis and DID after the diagnosis and the same things happen before getting diagnosed as what happens after the diagnosis so for him as a doctor he would tell the client ro relax you haven't changed just a label has been added to describe something that has always been there. Hope this has helped.
