Rule out physical causes that may lead to similar symptoms – a patient may suffer from a neurological condition or experience side effects of substance use.

Conduct a thorough mental health evaluation. Interview the individual in question about their thoughts, behaviors, and specific experiences they have had such as disruption of identity and memory gaps.
Once the symptoms of the patient fit the diagnostic criteria listed in DSM-5, keep monitoring the person to make sure there are no underlying mental health issues you have missed initially such as borderline personality disorder or anxiety disorder.

What Can Cause Dissociative Disorder?

Dissociative disorder is typically caused by severe trauma – abuse, neglect, or exposure to a chaotic family environment. The most common cause is childhood trauma – if the person was abused or neglected as a kid, it will lead to various mental health problems in their adulthood. People who are exposed to military conflicts, natural disasters, traumatic injuries, and extreme stress are also at risk of exhibiting the symptoms of dissociation and dissociative disorders.

How Long Does Dissociative Disorder Treatment Take?
The duration of dissociative disorder treatment varies from individual to individual – the presence of trauma, the severity of the condition, and the support of other people are the key factors that will affect the timeline of recovery. While individual response to treatment matters, it is possible to see significant improvement after two or three months in residential care – dedicate time to therapy, try diverse therapeutic approaches, and be ready to visit a therapist from time to time after the residential care program comes to an end.
When to Seek Help for Dissociative Disorder?
There are certain symptoms of mental health conditions that can be brushed off and disregarded – if you are occasionally upset, irritated, or numb, it is easy to deal with and pretend like there is nothing wrong. However, this is not the case with dissociative disorders – it is scary to experience a memory gap, feel detached from yourself, or deal with multiple alters in your mind, which is why you should speak to a mental health professional as soon as any of these symptoms manifest and disrupt your daily functioning.
