After 20 years of working in the mental health field, I have learned that although psychotherapy can be a life changing experience, it is not always enough to adequately manage mental health symptoms. When patients are still experiencing debilitating symptoms of depression, anxiety, impulsiveness, or difficulty with concentration, then psychotropic medications may be beneficial. Medications may bring patients relief from overwhelming worry or panic symptoms, low mood and motivation, and mood swings or irritability.

FAQ - Dissociative Disorders (DID) Psychiatrists
How can psychiatrists help with dissociative disorders?
Dissociative disorders are a group of mental health conditions—including dissociative identity disorder (DID), dissociative amnesia, and depersonalization-derealization disorder—that are characterized by a disruption or disconnection from reality. While occasional moments of disconnection, such as daydreaming or becoming immersed in a movie, are common and typically harmless, dissociative disorders are diagnosed when these experiences become distressing, chronic, or interfere with daily functioning. Symptoms of dissociation can include feeling detached from one's body, experiencing a sense of unreality, memory loss (amnesia), or a general disconnection from one's surroundings. These symptoms can range in intensity from mild to severe and may occur episodically or persist for longer periods of time.
How do psychiatrists evaluate and treat dissociative disorders?
Psychiatrists play a critical role in identifying and treating dissociative disorders, often focusing on the underlying causes of dissociation—most commonly a history of trauma. Initial psychiatric sessions typically begin with an evaluation to assess current symptoms and understand a client's medical and psychological history. This process helps determine potential triggers for dissociation and rules out any medical or substance-related causes. Evaluations often include questions about trauma exposure, co-occurring mental health conditions (such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD), substance use, and the frequency, duration, and nature of dissociative episodes. Ongoing psychiatric care is usually individualized and may involve a combination of therapeutic approaches depending on the type and severity of the dissociative disorder. Treatment can include trauma-informed therapy, psychoeducation, medication management for co-occurring conditions, and supportive psychotherapy to help clients develop grounding techniques and better manage their dissociative symptoms.
How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in dissociative disorders?
The Psychology Today online directory is a helpful resource for locating psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who specialize in dissociative disorders and trauma-related conditions. The platform offers search filters to narrow results by clinical specialty—such as dissociative disorders, trauma, or PTSD—as well as by insurance coverage, session cost, location, and provider identity preferences. When seeking care, it's important to ask potential providers about their specific experience with dissociative disorders and their approach to trauma-informed care, as these conditions often require specialized knowledge and are not treated by all psychiatrists.
