The treatment goals for dissociative disorders, such as DID, involve a comprehensive approach that typically combines therapy sessions with group therapy and other traditional forms of rehabilitation treatment.   Resolving underlying issues in DID may take an extended period as therapy aims to reach a point where the individual identifies as a single personality while maintaining the increased quality of life and functionality with their alternative personalities.   While some people may begin therapy during inpatient or intensive outpatient care, ongoing individual therapy sessions often continue for months or even years after completing the initial rehabilitation process.   The duration to achieve a fusion of all personalities into one depends on various factors, and the benefits of such a fusion are significant. It leads to greater emotional and mood stabilization, improved personal and professional relationships, reduced risk of physical harm, and heightened emotional stability with lower stress levels. As self-harming behaviors are not uncommon among individuals with DID, reaching the final fusion of personalities significantly decreases the risk of accidental injuries or self-inflicted harm.   Additionally, learning healthy coping mechanisms to address stressors and past traumas fosters self-confidence and a sense of self-efficacy, enhancing the overall well-being of the individual.   Dissociative identity disorder treatment is available at Psychiatry of the Palm Beaches.
