[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 589064, member: 14557"] MWM: What I have read dissociative symptoms vary in very large range. There has been many case reports in medical journals that I have read about dissociative patients that frankly sound loonier than a toon or at least clearly psychotic. Difference is that dissociative person can question their hallucinations and if the trustworthy person calmly explains the patient that hallucinations are not real, the patient is able to believe it. Anti-psychotic medications are also not working that well to dissociative hallucinations than to psychotic and on the other hand dissociative patient can get out of the hallucinations much faster by just calming them up. These cases have been with patients admitted to psychiatric wards so they are of course extreme. But anyway, even in psychiatric wards they at times have difficulties telling apart if someone is psychotic or dissociative so also extreme cases are very possible in dissociative spectrum. My difficult child's symptoms are luckily much more moderate, but still freaky. However, back to topic. Those four things I wrote do give me some kind of skeleton on what to ask, but any ideas would be more than welcome. [/QUOTE]
