My therapist and I have been talking about this recently. With one ego state increasingly depressed to the point of having SI/suicidal urges, and the other ego state cheerful and slightly sub-hypomanic, a medication that helps the whole being seems unlikely. Yet if depression and hypomania are brain based, how can different ego states experience completely different states. And how can either state be efficiently medicated when the result of medicating either would likely be harmful to the other.
A conundrum.
