I'm doing a paper on split and multiple personalities. I'm of course using books and internet sourcing but I'm trying to come up with alot of rare facts on the case. Also I had a question, is it ever possible that in the stomach of a pregnant woman one twin dies and the brains merge together? Kind of like when one twin dies and the dna goes into the other twin. "I am my own twin" type of thing? Thanks!

Basically, you're asking about rare psycotic cases. I'm afraid you're on your own there. As for your second question, no. It is not possible for the brain of one fetus to merge with it's twin. The "I am my own twin" has to do with chromosomal defects.
I would suggest you do your paper more on the mainstream and quite looking for the exotic. You'll learn more.

Hi, I have multiple personalities which has now been labeled as dissociative identity disorder. Having this disorder is rare in itself. Did you know that different personalities can have different allergies, habits, addictions, blood pressures? I lose alot of time. I am female, but I have a male 16 year old alter that loves women. Does that make me a lesbian? When I go to shop for clothes, I walk from dept to dept-childrens, mens, juniors, womens-it is confusing. I have toys for the young alters. Wish I knew what else you would want to know... Google dissociative identity disorder and I heard a good book is The Fractured Mind.

try your schools medline or the full pub med . Scchools uslly have the full fleged version .
start with Multiple personality disorder . there isa lot of work on it most stating it is not real . or is not a true disorder .
you will have to spend a good amount of toime doing this but it is there .
If there isa medical library all the better as it will be easier and they might have anumber of resuirces .try the APA both of them alos and a forensic psychology juornal .
good luck a contoversial and interesting topic
