Getting diagnosed split personality

[mumoftwoqueens]

Hi has anyone ever been diagnosed with split personality disorder ?
if so how did you go about it and what was the process
move been displaying signs for years now and my mental health isn’t the best at the moment I’ve spoken to a few councillors that have also said they think I might have it.
they’ve told me to contact my GP does anyone know the process and what happens when getting a diagnosis

You need to be diagnosed by a psychiatrist so your GP will write a referral. You can also ask the Clinic for Dissociative Studies to assess you and I believe that is by self referral.

My diagnosis took about 3 years; has been confirmed by three different people. Do you need a diagnosis though? Because it's a really shit diagnosis to have on your records so if it wasn't essential to be diagnosed, then I would honestly not go down that route.

My diagnosis was a bit different as I was in a room being videoed for two weeks, then I had about two years of therapy, then some interview style questions, and a lot of forms about experiences.

Weigh up the benefits of being diagnosed versus the negatives, because in my experience there's little to no help for the aftermath.

I was diagnosed when I had a breakdown and went into hospital. The psychologist in there diagnosed me. The psychiatrist just wanted to push meds and wasn't interested in getting to the root of the problem.

I believed the psychologist that there would be long-term help but as soon as I was out of the hospital they couldn't wait to get me off their books. I'm not eligible for any further help.

If you still want a diagnosis then my advice would be to see your gp and ask for a psychology referral not a psychiatrist.
