how to cure multiple personality disorder?

Answer 1

DID is usually caused by some sort of early trauma, usually severe, sustained trauma like abuse, living on the streets, being a refugee, etc. Memories and experiences that are too much for a young child are then "given" to a separate personality, who is strong enough to handle them.

When a psychiatrist deals with a person with more than one personality, he usually has to start out dealing with each one separately... The goal is to get them "talking" to each other, and cooperating. Ultimately, they may re-integrate into a single personality again. Before this can happen, the original trauma usually has to be dealt with and accepted as part of the person's past.

Medicines can help--depression, PTSD, and anxiety are very common comorbids to DID, and these often respond to various antidepressants, tranquilizers, and antipsychotics. However, most of the work is done by the patient in counseling; the medicines in this case are helpers but not the main treatment.

Treatment For Multiple Personality Disorder

Answer 3

The person with multiple personality disorder needs to see a psychiatrist who will see the person for a number of visits and prescribe medication and keep a record on that person and may have to try a few medications until the doctor finds the correct one for that person. It's not an easy disorder to treat but if the person co-operates with the doctor medication can help.

Answer 4

mpd is now referred to as dissociative identity disorder. it generally occurs between the ages of 1-8 yrs old, and is usually caused by severe, often ritual abuse on a daily basis. ritual, as in repetitive types of abuse and terrorization. it's difficult to diagnose and requires an expert psychiatrist to diagnose and treat. treatment takes many years, depending upon how many personalities are identified, and how many of those have fractured personalities. a lot of the time it's misdiagnosed as schizophrenia, and vice-versa. my dad was a multiple...he committed suicide (1964) because it scared him so badly and he thought he was crazy. they didn't know much about the disorder back then. but modern psychiatry has developed great break-through therapies to integrate the personalities with the core personality. if you or someone you know has dissociative identity disorder, i urge you to get an evaluation as soon as possible...the sooner you get into therapy, the sooner you will be able to get better and live a more normalized life. i hope this was helpful.

Answer 5

this is a very rare disorder...one that I believe that is obtained,...from a very abusive life, when someone has to create different personalities to deal with traumatic experiences perpetrated upon them by so called family members....the only way that this disorder can truly be cured...is with the strong faith in God and Jesus...The Lord can heal anything if He so desires....You have to start by forgiving the people who did the things to you that tortured you and made you subconsciously develop these personalites to survive...God Bless you and good luck..

Overview of Treatment
This is an exciting but confusing epoch in the history of the treatment of Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD. On the one hand, as noted in the first part of this lesson, an increasing number of MPD patients are being identified, and seeking psychiatric help. On the other hand, despite the upsurge in the literature on their treatment remains in a pioneering phase. The first outcome studies are quite recent; controlled studies are not available. A considerable number of articles offer advice generalized from single cases or from small or unspecified data bases. Since MPD patients are quite diverse, it is not surprising to find that citations can be found which appear to argue both for and against many therapeutic approaches. "Multiple personality disorder delights in puncturing our generalizations, revels in shattering our security about our favorite techniques and theories, and exhilarates in the role of gadfly and disturber of the peace." In contrast, among those workers who have seen many patients with MPD, most of whom taught their techniques in workshops but were unpublished prior to the 1980's, fascinating convergence's as well as differences have been noted. Braun, observing commonalties of videotaped therapeutic behavior among experienced MPD therapists who professed different theoretical orientations, inferred that the clinical realities of MPD influenced clinicians from diverse backgrounds toward similar approaches and conclusions. He offered the hypothesis that in actual treatment settings experienced workers behaved much more alike than their own statements would suggest. Many authorities concur. There is also increasing agreement that the prognosis for most patients with MPD is quite optimistic if intense and prolonged treatment from experienced clinicians can be made available. Often logistics rather than untreatability impede success.

Despite these encouraging observations, many continue to question whether the condition should be treated intensively or discouraged with benign neglect. Concern has been expressed that naive and credulous therapists may suggest or create the condition in basically histrionic or schizophrenic individuals, or even enter a folie à deux with their patients. Arguments to the contrary have been offered. Over a dozen years, this author has seen over 200 MPD cases diagnosed by over 100 separate clinicians in consultation and referral. In his experience, referral sources have been circumspect rather than zealous in their approach to MPD, and he cannot support the notion that iatrogenic factors are major factors. Although no controlled trials compare the fates of MPD patients in active treatment, placebolike treatment, and no treatment cohorts, some recent data bears on this controversy. The author has seen over a dozen MPD patients who declined treatment (approximately half of whom know the tentative diagnoses and half who did not) and over two dozen who entered therapies in which their MPD was not addressed. On reassessment, two to eight years later, all continued to have MPD. Conversely, patients reassessed after treatment for MPD have been found to hold onto their rather well.
