7. Can Multiple Personality Disorder Be Treated?
While there is no real “cure” for multiple personality disorder, there are several ways a mental health professional can help. Most often, several different types of therapies are used, which can include psychotherapy, behavioral therapy, or other types of adjunctive therapy.
The aim of treatment is often to help the individual to cope with the disease and eventually try to regain functionality. Additionally, the therapist will help the individual retrieve repressed memories, cope with painful experiences, and address other symptoms, such as self-harm or suicidal thoughts.
