Need Treatment For Dissociative Identity Disorder.

I have a Dissociative Identity Disorder. One of personalities, or as I call them, friends, has a habit of self destruction. I can't control them, and I woke up several days ago with deep cuts over my thighs, stomach, arms, and wrists, but I don't want medicine because I don't want them to go away.

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Dissociative identity disorder happens due to underline mental conflict. If you have any conflict in your unconscious mind, try to resolve the conflict with help of psychologist. This is the best treatment in your case. Medication are not much useful in dissociative identity disorder. You can take benzodiazepine on sos basis, but this is not much effective.

Thanks
