[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 345153, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Heather, as you know kt suffers from moderate to severe dissociation. Of late, she is experiencing depersonalization experiences rather than outright dissociation. The one criteria psychiatrists look at is if there was any childhood trauma - mainly abuse. A child steps outside of their body to protect themselves. I've never had a need to check out the DSM criteria as it was a no brainer here for kt. Saying that therapy with a therapist with experience in dealing with early childhood trauma or memories is your on best bet for treatment if you really feel this is the case. I know wm, who is dissociative in his own right but to a much lesser degree ~ more depersonalization is having more success in treatment. Sweetie, the tweedles knew that medications were a high priority here. If medications weren't taken they ended up at psychiatrist or ER; I wonder if your difficult child isn't a bit Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) (an anxiety disorder) - is obsessed with all things that could hurt her. Including medications. It takes patience, therapy & a good medication (in my nieces case she had prozac) to help her even out. Lots of repetitive assurances that no one in her family would put her at risk. Just some thoughts for you my dear. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
