Dissociative Identity Disorder

Dissociative Identity Disorder: A real disorder but we take it imaginary 

 

You saw a movie where the hero has two personalities. One personality says that he is normal and the other one says abnormal. Do you have any idea what this disorder is referred to as? It is nothing but a dissociative identity disorder. A person with two personalities. Not only two but even three, four or more than that. 

People think that it is an imaginary disorder that takes place only in movies. But do you know that it also exists in real life too. Yes, it exists in real life and people have been a victim of it. Now before that, we must know what it is and how you can overcome it. If you want to know about it just read the article carefully. 

Introduction 

Do you really know what Dissociative Identity Disorder is? A situation where a person’s behaviour is in his/her own hand. In other words, you can say that the person can get this disorder and become another person. This means a person who has two personalities. On one side he/she is taking the person of their own. 

And on the other hand, he/she can also become someone else. In other words, a person can take someone else’s personality and turn out to be that person. This is what dissociative identity disorder is all about. You may think that person is abnormal but that person is not. In simple words, that person is suffering from a disorder. 

Dissociative Identity Disorder statistics 

You would not believe it that the statistics of dissociative identity disorder are at a peak. Millions of people across the globe are suffering from this disorder. The

ors are trying to cure it as soon as possible. But you can say that they are trying their best. Until and unless we do not know the exact treatment of it. 

The exact figure is around 4 million or approximately. And the percentage is nearly around 50. The figure that we gave you is an assumption. We want to tell you that we do not know about the exact figures. So never take it as a final figure. Even if you Google it out you would never get the right figure. 

Occurrence of Dissociative Identity Disorder 

Now you must know how Dissociative Identity Disorder occurs. If you are aware of this particular thing you can give this knowledge to others. Here are the situations through which this disorder occurs. 

 

  • Bad upbringing or childhood- It may have happened that your upbringing was not so good. Means you have grown up with various tough situations or seen worse things in front of you. Or even it has been that in your school you have been teased a lot by many people. Not only teased but also been a victim of ragging or bullying. After being a victim of these things you have grown up being a dissociative identity disorder patient. The factor of childhood plays a very significant role in it. 
  • A live disaster- Suppose you have seen a live disaster in front of you. It means a riot in front of your eyes. Or your house being burnt. In these two cases, also there are chances that you can have dissociative identity disorder. There are many examples of people who have been a victim of it. After being victimised they either became mad or developed the place of another person. There are people who think that it is an imaginary thing. But it is not, it is a real incident faced by various people. 
  • Natural calamities- You all know that natural calamities like an earthquake or even a huge thunder cyclone. It may happen that in an earthquake someone has lost most of their family members. Or in a cyclone, a person has lost his/her home. In these natural calamities, there are chances that a person can have a dissociative identity disorder. Scientists have found this matter to be true. But there are many people who still believe that there is no significance to it. Know it and mark it important.     

Treatment options 

See we do not know the exact way of treating a dissociative identity disorder patient. But yes we would tell you about some treatment options. They would be beneficial for you. So you can go through them and get a specified idea. 

  • Visit a doctor- You may not know whether you are suffering from dissociative identity disorder or not. But suddenly if you notice any change in your behaviour by turning into some other personality please visit a doctor. It is mandatory for you to do it. Your doctor will tell you exactly what it is. Then later on he/she will tell you to visit a psychiatrist. And never think that visiting a psychiatrist is not the right thing. You can get a solution to your problem as soon as possible. 
  • Make an appointment with a psychiatrist- It is obvious that your doctor would tell you to make an appointment with a psychiatrist. So make an appointment with that person and see how things start changing. You can get a smooth treatment as soon as possible. Never feel ashamed to go to a psychiatrist. That person would start treating you and make you normal very soon. Many people make fun of it but there is no such a thing as that. 
  • Try out some medicines- Although we know that there are no medicines that treat dissociative identity disorder. But the doctor will tell you what medicines you need to prefer. Follow their recommendations and do not have anything extra. Do not have any sort of medicines that are out of your doctor’s recommendation. If you do it then you are going to face severe trouble. Just do what your doctors say. And remember one thing that you are not allowed to have medicines in bulk. 

What happens after you get Dissociative Identity Disorder? 

After you get Dissociative Identity Disorder these things can take place. In other words, you can say that these are some signs. But at the end of the day, they may not be a suitable thing for you. 

  • Anxiety- The first and most important thing is that anxiety takes place. You become anxious and start developing negativities inside you. And after developing negativities you start to have a certain stress. This is not at all a good sign. Because it develops both dissociative identity and anxiety disorder. And later on, it can also be converted into a panic. If this thing is there what you need to do is to consume a Xanax. It is the best anti-anxiety medicine.  
  • Losing memory- Another thing is that you can also lose your memory. You might have heard of this term short term memory loss. It means that you can see a particular thing and forget that within a minute. This is also the thing that takes place after you have dissociative identity disorder. If this is the situation then you must visit a nearby doctor. Tell your situation to a doctor then see what you know about it. You may get a solution and know something about yourself that you did not know.  
  • Unnecessary depression- Remember this thing that depression is alright. But that does not mean you can have an unnecessary depression. It is a real sign of trouble for you. Besides dissociative identity disorder, it also increases the level of your blood pressure. So you can already say it is a danger sign. In this case, a doctor’s visit is mandatory. People take it as a false and unreal statement. But it is not because after visiting a doctor only you are going to get a proper solution. 
  • Daily nightmare- One day if you see a nightmare then it can be a significant point. But on a daily basis if you see it then it is bad. So after you suffer from dissociative identity disorder this thing also happens. If this happens then you do not need to visit a doctor. You can reach out to a counsellor. Reaching out to a counsellor in this case is the right option. That person will tell you whether you really require a doctor’s visit or not. You may not require it because just a few medicines would work. 
  • Dwell with the past- Last but not least is that people with dissociative identity disorder often dwell with their past. They certainly start thinking about what happened to them in the past. Not only this, but they also think about what happened to them 10-15 years ago. People often refer to this term as inferiority complex. Yes, it is known to be an inferiority complex. But more than this it is known to be an abnormal situation. It is not only bad but the worst thing. 

Final Words   

 

Therefore, it is known from the fact that dissociative identity disorder is really very dangerous. And a treatment should be there to treat this particular disorder. If this happens then most of the patients with this disorder can be cured.
