I see you are located in Yorksire (the UK ?) here in america treatment providers have to look at drugs and alcohol use when diagnosing whether a problem is dissociative or not because drugs and alcohol can cause dissociative like symptoms of memory problems, numbness, spaciness, foggy minded, poor judgement, not remembering what one did or said, mood switching that can appear as if someone switched personalities.
short version one of the diagnostics for dissociative disorders here is that the problem can not be because of drugs alcohol, and not better explained by other mental physical problems. so here it is one of the things treatment providers do have to address.
