摘要：

Those with serious mental illness are highly likely to experience stigma resulting in discrimination. This article addresses the intersectionality of serious mental illness with gender, social class, and disability status utilizing a case study of a woman with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Despite estimated prevalence rates of 1.0% to 6.0% in psychiatric settings, individuals with DID experience providers who are unfamiliar or skeptical of the diagnosis. Media portrayal of DID, gender bias, ability, and social status increase difficulties with access to needed services. Discussion of trauma-informed and gender responsive clinical interventions will be provided, as well as clinical recommendations.
