hi my name is danyell i was diagnosed with dissociative disorder, i am getting pulled out of the military for it. I was told by a councilor that it was a bad idea to start having a baby but i have had two children before it was the most i could actually remember what i was doing otherwise i don't remember months at a time. Do you think it is a good idea that i start planning a family with my husband?

Hi,
Thanks for writing to healthcaremagic.

You haven't mentioned the exact duration and line of treatment you got for your illness.
Probably you were suffering from dissociative amnesia.
dissociative disorder most probably occurs due to unresolved underlying conflicts which can be brought out by psychotherapy or hypnosis.This will also treat your symptoms and help you to tackle conflicts in more sound way.

You need to consult a psychiatrist and yes ,you can live totally normal life when your underlying cause is completely treated.You can plan family as soon as you completely cured.

Hope I have answered your query,
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
