In this video from the CTAD Clinic, Dr Mike Lloyd (Clinic Director and Consultant Clinical Psychologist) speaks with Amanda, who was diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) later in life. They speak about the impact of this, and how Amanda's life has changed from being diagnosed to now. Amanda is part of a working group who have established a UK based charity, the Dissociative Disorders Alliance (DDA) to raise awareness and provide support to people with dissociative conditions.
