Looking for Information?
There is a lot of misinformation out there about dissociative disorders. To combat this, we started the Dissociative Wiki in 2022.
Although we are not mental health professionals, we feel that our lived experience is a valuable resource. The wiki contains over 70 articles with research, commentary, and advice from others dealing with dissociation. We also have a growing list of Frequently Asked Questions.
Please contact us if you’d like to contribute or if you find factual inaccuracies. We’ll correct any errors we’re made aware of.
