Summary
In this deeply personal podcast episode, Eva May opens up about her journey with dissociative identity disorder (DID), a condition stemming from severe childhood trauma that remains largely unrecognized in the UK’s healthcare system. After 33 years navigating various mental health services, she’s finally found specialized treatment that’s predicted to last six years, becoming one of only 50 people receiving government-funded care from a specialized center. Eva candidly discusses the challenges of living with DID, including triggers that can transport her back to traumatic memories and the difficulty of explaining her condition to friends and family who often suggest she should simply ‘move on.’
