What Is Dissociative Disorder?
10. Can Dissociative Disorder Be Prevented?
To prevent children from developing dissociative disorder later in life, it is important to address situations at home that could lead to emotional, physical or sexual abuse. Providing education, therapy and other types of assistance that may help reduce the potential for abuse is imperative.
When children and adults do suffer from the experiences of traumatic events, it is crucial for them to get help dealing with these events as soon as possible. Getting professional help and linking to a support network can help the individual to deal with and heal from the trauma and provide healthy coping mechanisms.
