I've been suffering with dissociation (depersonalization and derealization) for quite a while now. It used to only trigger when I was out of my house. I have a fear of leaving my house, so I feel anxious whenever I'm in public. After a while I noticed I would dissociate when I'm under stress and now it seems to happen at random times without an obvious reason.

I brought this up with my psychiatrist, before I knew what it was and he didn't seem like he knew what was wrong. I'm thinking of telling him about this again and seeing if he'll consider diagnosing me, but I'm also thinking that there wouldn't be much point. Correct me if I'm wrong, but these dissociative disorders can't be treated with meds right?

My psychiatrist already feels bad because he can't treat my aspergers since it can't be treated with medication, so I don't think there would be anything he could do. I'd like some help, but I'm not sure if there's anything that can be done to treat this. Should I pursue a diagnosis anyway and is there anything I can do to treat this?
