dc.descriptionRuth Dorey is a woman with dissociative disorder who lives in Dartmouth. Her birth father abandoned her family and her mother was very poor, often not able to feed her children well and physically abusive. At age 4, Ruth went to live with her great Aunt Jessie, who also had a mental illness. Ruth was first diagnosed with depression at 21, then with dissociative disorder at 41. She speaks of the difficulties with getting proper medical treatment and of her daily struggle to feel well. Ruth works part-time, is a videographer, and practices self-support and positive self-talk.en_US
