Never did seek treatment for a dissociative disorder. I acquired an autoimmune disease about three and a half - four years ago. The disease left me in an extraordinarily weakened state constantly. In addition, pushing one's self with this disease can be fatal. So, I'm in a constant weakened state so I have to push myself to do anything, but doing so can kill me - so I sat there and did nothing for over a year. Can you imagine a more perfect recipe for depression? Yeah, my primary care physician couldn't either and so he referred me to a therapist/psychiatrist for diagnostic confirmation of depression. While there we accidentally got diagnosed with DID.
Also Shaly: I have a DID dx but tested negative for PTSD - by which I mean that I was sent for diagnostic confirmation for PTSD and the psychiatrist said that while it was probable that I had previously had PTSD, I showed no current signs.
Is anyone familiar with any contraindications for EMDR being a multiple?
