Eva May shares her powerful journey living with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and complex PTSD, revealing how she had to travel to the United States to receive a proper diagnosis after 33 years of inadequate treatment in the UK. Her story exposes the shocking lack of recognition and support for dissociative disorders in the UK’s healthcare system, where she’s now one of only 50 people receiving specialized treatment through the Centre for Dissociative Studies. Despite experiencing terrifying dissociative episodes where she loses all memory and finds herself in dangerous situations, Eva has found an unexpected lifeline through her therapy dog who helped her overcome four years of complete agoraphobia. Now she’s training her dog to become a certified therapy animal to help others, while advocating for better mental health support in the UK through her radio show, highlighting the current crisis where children and young adults face 2-3 year waiting lists for essential mental health treatment.
