Do People With Multiple Personality Disorder Truly Exist? - Personal Experience! by Wearabletech(op): 11:03am On Aug 17, 2020
Have you ever wondered why some people you thought to be healthy commits suicide?



Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) previously known as Multiple Personality Disorder, is the existence of at least two distinct or split identities otherwise known as personality states.

DID is usually a result of severe abuse or trauma. In a sense, it involves experiencing a disconnection between thoughts, memories, surroundings, actions, and identity.

This is quite different from a personality disorder in which sufferers have a stiff and unnatural pattern of thinking, functioning and behaving.

The root of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is believed to be severe and prolonged trauma experienced during childhood, including emotional, physical, or sexual abuse.

For Eka, my friend, she had several admissions in the ER due to several suicide attempts.

One time she had a deep cut on her left shoulder. It involved a major vein close to the jugular vein. During an assessment, she had told the clerking physician that she slipped and hit her head on the edge of a kitchen sink.

As usual, her explanation was incongruent with regard to the nature of the cut.

The psychiatrist had to use verbal repetition and mental images to direct her thoughts in an attempt to help her recall how the injury occurred.

Another alter known as Anthony narrated his experience, after being diagnosed with DID when he was around 22 years.

It was after a second suicide attempt, having disassociated, and only remembering a fragment or two before waking up in the hospital.

Now 36, he couldn’t keep a day job or own a business. He talked about how he was arrested several times by the cops and taken to a mental health ward as an “imminent threat to self and others”.

He was deemed dangerous. He recalled how he was an abuser of skunk and amphetamine.

Tony narrated how many psychologists he met who didn’t believe in his condition, only regarding it as an excuse to be hooked on prescription drugs. For him, life can never be balanced
