Everything You Need To Know About Dissociative Identity Disorder

Medication For DID Treatment

There are no medications used specifically to treat dissociative identity disorder, but a variety of drugs can be used to relieve some of the symptoms along with therapy. These include neuroleptics such as aripiprazole, ziprasidone, olanzapine, and quetiapine, anticonvulsants, which act as mood stabilizers, and antidepressants to reduce anxiety and apprehension. These medications tend to be prescribed in smaller dosages for DID patients than they would be for someone who suffers from the mental illness they are typically prescribed for.
