Comprehensive information on the types, symptoms, causes and treatments of dissociative disorders, including Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).

Welcome to the Dissociative Disorders section of HealthyPlace.com

You've probably heard the term "spacing out" or feeling like you've stepped outside of your own skin. Those are common and mild forms of dissociation. It's a way of escaping reality for a few minutes.

More severe and pathological forms of dissociation often occur as reactions to very stressful events such as abuse, war and other forms of trauma. People with dissociative disorders chronically escape their reality in involuntary, unhealthy ways ranging from suppressing memories to assuming alternate identities.

You can learn more about dissociative disorders here. We also have videos on dissociative disorders. And if you are looking for dissociative disorder or Dissociative Identity Disorder support, we hope you'll join the HealthyPlace.com Support Network (our social network). Many times, sharing support and information with others who have common experiences can be helpful and comforting.

Pem/Pam

These pages tell the story of my own journey through multiple personalities (Dissociative Identity Disorder, DID). I believe that each of us has a unique healing journey, so I don't want to say that what I have experienced will be true for you. However, reading the experience of others has helped me feel less alone and has given me a wealth of ideas from which I could pick and choose as I worked out my own path. I hope my story can serve others the same way.
