the type of dissociative symptoms that come with depresison SAD can b helped with antidepressants ie feeling disconnected and out of control becuase of SAD symptoms (trouble getting out of bed, having to force yourself to get dressed and washed fed, suicidal...)
the way it works is you take care of the depression/SAD with antidepressants and its symptoms including the dissociated ones associated with the disorder go away. the hard part is finding the right antidepressant for each person.
my suggestion is if this continues to bother you call your treatment provider, they can adjust your meds or change your meds or precribe a medication that may work for you so that your depression/SAD symptoms are not so heavy/hard for you, in turn will make the dissociative symptoms feel less out of control/over taking your life.
I also have depression/SAD with dissociative symptoms. you are not alone.

yes, well depends of doctor and how I feel at the day I'm going to doc they say it's depression/sad/gad/agoraphobia/social phobia/panic disorder/somatic attacks, sometimes I feel like it would be easier to say what I don't have..
Do you think it could be somehow cured without antidepressants? after I tired ssri about 3 years ago I still have big fear of any kind of meds :c even taking iron for anemia is hard for me, I need to ask mother to be next to me when I'm taking it, and since I was a kid I can't swallow pills, I have to have liquid meds only or something that can be crushed if there's no way without meds :c
