Many psychiatrists believe DID is an extremely rare disorder and do not readily accept it as a real diagnosis. Also, some mental health professionals, psychotherapists and psychiatrists, view DID as "borderline personality disorder on steroids". It is often dismissed as a creation of overly zealous psychotherapists who don't know what they are doing. Trauma therapists are far more accepting. Approach psychiatrists expecting they will be skeptical and with a lot of medical evidence of trauma as back-up.
