Considering the technology and advancements in research we have in this day and time, it never amazes me what the human mind and body is capable of. Just yesterday, I saw a story on Discovery Channel about a 7 year old boy in a rare scenario (forgot the exact name of the case), where he was pregnant with his own twin. It is a rare medical phenomenon, but it can, and did, happen. If a 7 year old can be pregnant with their own twin, then why is it so hard to believe that a person can suffer severe depression, or dissociate identity disorder...and have one or more identities separate from themselves, or any other disorder&illness? Is it because the excuse of mental illness has been taken advantage of, and used as an excuse for criminal activities or to explain away unacceptable behavior? What do you think?
