The Rock & Roll Shrink Radio Show Ep. 92 - Dissociative Identity Disorder Pt 2

Dissociative Identity Disorder, Pt 2

Tonight is the second half of our first episode specifically dedicated to Dissociative Identity Disorder, by request of one of our followers.

Dissociative Identity Disorder is more commonly known by its outdated names, Multiple Personality Disorder, or Split Personalities. This is a condition that is far more common than most people realize. When one realizes suspected DID causes are thought to be rooted in childhood trauma and abuse, and that it was often dismissed or derisively painted as a faked condition until the last few decades, one can certainly see the unfortunate potential for overlooking, underestimating, or misdiagnosing, sufferers.

Many of us only know about this pathology through movies and media, so we will also spend a bit of time tonight addressing matters of misinformation.

Last time we discussed:

1. The History of Dissociative Identity Disorder
2. Our Current Understanding of Dissociative Identity Disorder (Naming, Definitions, and Symptoms)

Tonight, we will discuss:

1. Our Current Understanding of Dissociative Identity Disorder (picking back up at Diagnosis)
2. Myths and Misconceptions about Dissociative Identity Disorder
3. Suggestions for Coping & Mitigating Symptoms.

We'll start off the evening with some topic-relevant Classic Rock played by Dr. Mathis, followed by Classic Rock trivia in "The Rock & Roll Shrink Recalls," followed by our topic discussion.

Please follow our bi-weekly, Wednesday evening shows, at 11 pm EST/EDT. We will have a new topic for you in two weeks!
