Best Solution for Dissociation

-

Art by: Kathy Broady


Dissociation is a coping mechanism that causes a person to disconnect from their thoughts, feelings, memories, or sense of identity. It can be a normal reaction to trauma, but it can also become a problem if it interferes with daily life.

There is no single best solution for dissociation, but treatment typically involves a combination of therapy and medication.

 * Therapy can help people understand their dissociation and develop coping mechanisms to deal with it in a healthy way. Some types of therapy that can be helpful include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).

 * Medication may be prescribed to treat underlying mental health conditions that are contributing to dissociation, such as anxiety or depression.

If you are struggling with dissociation, it is important to seek professional help. A mental health professional can help you develop a treatment plan that is right for you.

Not knowing what they can or may do by the chance of becoming pregnant. You can utilize contraceptives but there are always variables out of your control.

Here are some of the most common mental health struggles among veterans:  * Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)  * Depression  * Anxiety  * Substance use disorder These conditions can be caused by a variety of factors experienced during military service, including combat exposure, military sexual trauma, and the stress of deployment. If you are a veteran experiencing mental health struggles, there are resources available to help. You can reach out to the Veterans Crisis Line or mental health services offered by the VA.
