WHAT HOPE IS THERE FOR SOMEONE WITH MULTIPLE PERSONALITY DISORDER? Ask The Doctor Dr. Leland Heller Biological Unhappiness WHAT HOPE IS THERE FOR SOMEONE WITH MULTIPLE PERSONALITY DISORDER? Question: Someone I know is diagnosed by a psychologist as having “Multiple Personality Disorder”. According to the doctor, there is no cure for this problem and he has only 1% hope if the patient cooperates. Also he was suggesting his wife to look into the option of divorce. Whereas, I find hope through your website. Dr. Heller’s Answer: I’ve taken care of 7 patients with DID (dissociative identity disorder). Every one also has the BPD (borderline personality disorder). In addition to the usual treatment, an antidepressant Remeron (mirtazapine) is crucial as it works for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The other personalities come out to protect the person when faced with stress. By stabilizing the mood, controlling the PTSD, and treating the other diagnoses individuals with DID can become stable and work on a regular life. The psychological damage that causes DID is profound and it’s difficult to recover from. Some have done better than others. They need to feel safe. Sometimes getting a large dog to protect them while sleeping helps. They tend to be afraid of relationships which also needs to be worked on. The improvement on the right sequence and combination of medications can be amazing and gives significant hope. 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Ask the Doctor Home MENU: Screening Test “Ask the Doctor” (BPD)Borderline Personality Disorder Annual Updates Biological Unhappiness Disorders & Official Criteria Dr. Heller’s C.V. & Picture How Dr. Heller Got Involved If You Want to See Dr. Heller as a Patient Testimonials Table of Contents for the Book ‘Biological Unhappiness’ How to Order “Life at the Border” Why Read ‘Biological Unhappiness’?
