Who is this surgery for?
- Presence of dissociative symptoms (e.g., memory gaps, identity alteration) requiring differential diagnosis.
- To rule out temporal lobe epilepsy or other seizure disorders that can present with dissociative states.
- Suspicion of an underlying organic brain condition (e.g., tumor, injury) contributing to psychiatric symptoms.
- When symptoms are atypical or do not respond to initial psychiatric interventions.
How to prepare
- Compile a detailed personal and medical history, including any past trauma.
- Bring previous psychiatric evaluations, therapy notes, or medical records.
- Be prepared to discuss all symptoms openly, including memory lapses and identity shifts.
- Follow any specific instructions regarding medication prior to tests like an MRI.
- Arrange for a support person to accompany you, as discussions can be emotionally challenging.
Risks & possible complications
- Diagnostic neurological tests like MRI carry minimal risk (e.g., claustrophobia, reaction to contrast dye).
- EEG is non-invasive and generally risk-free.
- The primary 'risk' is the potential for misdiagnosis if the evaluation is not comprehensive.
- The process of discussing traumatic history may temporarily increase distress or dissociation.
Recovery & hospital stay
- There is no procedural recovery, as the evaluation is diagnostic.
- Recovery focuses on the long-term psychiatric treatment process for DID, which is led by mental health professionals.
- Post-evaluation, the neurologist will communicate findings to your psychiatric team to integrate into your therapy plan.
- Engaging consistently in recommended psychotherapy (e.g., trauma-focused therapy) is crucial for management.

Had my gallbladder out last week....
Had my gallbladder out last week. The surgery itself was fine, but the first two days after were rough. Dr. Madhumitha was really on top of my pain meds, adjusting them a few times until it was manageable. She checked on me every morning and evening at MGM, which helped a lot. I'm home now and the recovery is going okay, just taking it slow.
