I can understand why she was discussing reincarnation if you told her D died. here in the USA when someone perceives a part of their self has died and others are taking over the body/ living inside the body of someone who has died is called reincarnation and a religious ritualistic practice which here in america disqualifies the diagnosis of DID, in other words a person here in america who says this would not get a dissociative disorder diagnosis, they would get diagnosed as psychotic or referred to a church to deal with their religious problem.
another thing that may be preventing your treatment provider (psychologist) from treating you in a way that you feel you should be is your statement of "some episodes of where I am lost" here in the USA this would point to psychosis not dissociation because with dissociative disorders reality testing remains intact and with psychosis a person loses their sense of reality (getting lost in their mind rather than switching into an alternate personality.)
my point is it might not be that america has better health care, it might just be the diagnostic criteria matching with the words you are using.
suggestion .. maybe you can find out what diagnostic manual your location uses for diagnosing mental disorders. maybe checking out that manual will help you to understand why your treatment providers think you have psychosis not a dissociative disorder.
another suggestion try the meds they want you to try. who knows it may help regardless of what your problems are labeled as.

Guess I didn't word my words properly.. word my words.. xD Little clarification now that I am with my full mind and Waidth is not trying to break something.. or someone.
D. was the original, the one born with the body. Somewhere between the span of 6 months and 1 year, Evee dissociated because D. was ignored and left alone at most of the times. At 1 she had a surgery in which she was put asleep with anaesthetic to which she was either very allergic or they gave her too much, but she fell into "clinical" death (her brain and heart stopped working) and because of that Waidth dissociated so while D. might not be dead she certainly have not been here, so we just assume she is dead.
I do think I have psychosis (yet to be diagnosed). By the symptoms and signs it looks like psychosis, and when I went there to get help, I went because I, Scar, was scared of myself. I was, and still am not scared about DID because I'm used to it. I've never been alone nor will I ever be. We help each other and we all agreed of going there.
