We all would have heard these names only in movies, serials . But do you know what it is? It’s a psychiatric disorder in which , a single person will have two or more personalities (also called as alters) within him, his/her personality would switch according to the situations and the behavior of such personality would be totally different from the individuals real personality. In such cases the unity of consciousness with which we identify our selves is absent.
Individuals with this disorder would probably seek mental health treatment programs. Another symptom of MPD is significant amnesia, that can’t be explained with ordinary forgetfulness. Some with DID have personalities with different emotion, pulse, blood pressure and blood flow to brain.
DID was before called as MPD and some times as Split Personality Disorder. It occurs 9 times more in females than in males. However, certain researches shows that , it’s more common in females because it’s difficult to find that personality in males.
Till now there is no proven cause for the development of DID. But researches show it is developed as a reaction due to severe childhood trauma. One of the reason for DID is due to stress of terrible abuse experienced by the individual during his/her childhood. Some say it is caused due to high complexity and unknown nature of human brain, and psyche.
The memory which is stored due to these trauma, results in DID. It can cause even by observing some relatives with DID, this doesn’t mean that DID is hereditary.
Let me discuss about the symptoms and signs of DID.
Do you know what will happen , if DID is not diagnosed??
They start to behave violently , and will try to commit suicide more than once and more over they would loose their quality of life.
So it’s best to take treatment as soon as possible , instead of hesitating.
Have you heard of KIM NOBLE. She is 50 yrs old and a painter. She has 100 different personalities within herself. There personalities have their own names , age, behavior etc..
Such a miracle right.
