Is split personality disorder real ?

Question

I don't think so.

Answer 1

The American Psychiatric Association seems to disagree with you.

They call it Dissociative Identity Disorder.

It's real, but it's rare.

Answer 2

I've worked with several individuals experiencing dissociative disorder.... rare but very real! The mental health profession seems to see it as real... and, I didn't go to college for nearly 13 years to to turn around and pretend disorders such as this one, Anorexia, addiction, etc., are made up. I agree with the psychologist above.. seems you may be alone and doing a lot of damage with your limited knowledge. Stay out of these situations before you hurt others.

In other questions you've asked and answered, you've told people who suffer to ditch treatment b/c the mental health profession is fake-- your position is very dangerous and could cause others great harm. You and others like you have told patients with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia or major depressive disorder with suicidal tendencies, to stop taking their meds (despite that fact that the meds keep them alive) when they asked a sincere questions and were concerned.

The question is-- do you care if your advice results in someone committing suicide or self cutting, or being readmitted to a hopsital b/c they tried to kill their spouse or children due to the illness and voices? If you had one bad experience, don't condemn the lot of us or the entire rpofession!

Answer 3

1) If your calling it "Split Personality" then your definitely not that highly knowledgeable about psychiatry.

2)If DID is not real, then I'm not. Cause I am one of 20-something in one body. Suggest you check out the link below, if you think it's made up.

Yup, according to the DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) it's called dissociative identity disorder.
