Do you feel detached from your body or emotions? Do you experience memory lapses or emotions of depersonalisation? Our Dissociative Disorders Assessment Service can assist. Our expert psychologists will work with you to assess and comprehend your dissociative experiences, including personality features and emotional functioning.
What is the Dissociative Disorders Assessment?
A Dissociative Disorders Assessment is a thorough evaluation that aims to detect and diagnose dissociative disorders such as dissociative amnesia, depersonalisation disorder, and dissociative identity disorder. To obtain information about your symptoms, background, and personality, we will conduct a clinical interview, behavioural observation, and standardised testing.
When to Get a Dissociative Disorders Assessment
Consider getting a Dissociative Disorders Assessment if you are experiencing any of the following:
• Difficulty recalling major details of traumatic incidents or life experiences.
• Feeling apart from body or emotions.
• Amnesia and depersonalisation episodes.
• Experiencing audio hallucinations that others cannot hear.
• Feeling out of control.
• Sleep problems or nightmares.
• Avoiding situations or locations owing to worry or dread.
What to Expect During The Service
Your assessment will be personalised to your specific needs and may consist of the following components:
1. General Medical History Questionnaire: Gathers background information about your physical and mental health.
2. Psychometric Scales: Assesses dissociative symptoms, personality attributes, and overall emotional functioning.
In the clinical interview, the physician will:
• Collect extensive information about your symptoms and experiences.
• Review your personal, medical, and mental health history.
• Observe your behaviour and evaluate your emotional well-being.
• Use standardised psychological exams to assess your dissociative symptoms.
Following the assessment, we will give you a personalised diagnosis and therapy recommendations. We will collaborate with you to create a personalised treatment plan to help you get control of your dissociative symptoms and enhance your quality of life.
Don’t let dissociative symptoms hold you back anymore. Our team is here to help you on your journey to recovery.
