| What is MPD or DID?
MPD or DID is defined as a condition in which "two or more distinct identities or personality states" alternate in controlling the patient's consciousness and behavior. Note: "Split personality" is not an accurate term for DID and s hould not be used as a synonym for schizophrenia.What are the causes of MPD or DID?- An innate ability to dissociate easily
- Repeated episodes of severe physical or sexual abuse in childhood
- The lack of a supportive or comforting person to counteract abusive relative(s)
- The influence of other relatives with dissociative symptoms or disorders
What are the symptoms of MPD or DID?- Amnesia - Gaps in the patient's memory for long periods of their past, in some cases, their entire childhood.
- Depersonalization - the patient feels that his or her body is unreal, is changing, or is dissolving.
- Derealization - the patient perceives the external environment as unreal. Patients may see walls, buildings, or other objects as changing in shape, size, or color.
I got interested in MPD because of a book I am currently reading. It's title is The Minds of Billy Milligan and it is by Daniel Keyes. It's a about a man with 23 personalities. woohooo xD
