How is the condition diagnosed?

Diagnosis of a dissociative disorder is based on the presence of the symptoms. A complete medical examination is performed to determine if a physical condition may be causing the disorder. Also, a complete psychological history will be conducted to assess for possible sources of trauma and stress. Sometimes, psychological tests will be conducted to help make the diagnosis.
