is there really such a thing as multiple personality disorder? |
Issue don't shoot me down please... just wondering. Best Tip Noelle and Kay's answers are great. The rest leave something to be desired. It is called Disassociatve Identity Disorder. It is typically caused by repeat severe physical or sexual abuse. It is a controversial subject and there are different takes on it. It is considered an official personality disorder by the American Psychiatric Association. Personality disorders in general are very treatment resistant and are never really "cured". But DID is treatable and treatment can help the person live a more comfortable functional life. Another popular myth is that it is a form of Schizophrenia but it is not and it is not at all related to Schizophrenia. Hope this helps. Source(s): I am finishing up my masters in Clinical Psychology. Others Yes, there really is. I can tell you Tom Cruise says, "Nope!" yes there is such thing as multiple personality disorder..i have 4 family members that have it..to an extent it can be cured if you have professional help Yes there is because my boyfriend can think and talk in 7 different forms of communication. yes, and it is treated with psychotherapy as well as medication. p.s. have you ever seen the movie, Sybil? freaky true story about a woman who develops like 17 different personalities!! |
