As far as I can tell, real, but some using it may be fake.
I think the one they made "Three Faces of Eve" was real but the movie version was dramatized. Scrooster may want to weigh in as she was from SC if my memory is not too far gone.
I know the one they made "Sybil" from was quite real. She spent part of her life in CKY and was well known around the area. CKY pre 1980's was a "collector" of personalities as it was very accepting of the odd and eccentric. 1 or 2 degrees of separation exist between Shirley and myself and I can say clearly there were different personalities. This was not the first or last person I had seen with this issue but all exhibited diagnosed or undiagnosed schizophrenia. Not sure if one followed the other but there seemed to be a connection. This is why I added the "may be fake" to my first sentence.
If underlying schizophrenia existed then probably real
If no underlying schizophrenia existed then probably not real
There is still so much we do not know and so many things many of you never heard of or experienced in your personal life (like polio or scarlett fever) affected many other things beside just their effect on the bodies they damaged. If you are old enough you grew up with friends who were "changed" after such an illness.

Yes but as with anything people take advantage.

Fake, Fake, Fake, and Fake.
People can have dissociative events when experiencing severe traumas, but this nonsense about having multiple people with different names living inside you is just fiction.
The usual people diagnosed with it in the past are individuals who were seeking a psychological symptom to identify with and assume the sick role. Those individuals (in 2019) are now more likely to report gender identity symptoms.
These types of diagnoses change with the culture and the decade we live in.

In the realm of mental health issues, probabilities are nearly limitless. My attempt at levity in an earlier post was ( as I think we all enjoy on this OT board ) an escape.
The discussion of a serious matter with humor can be a calming factor. It was not meant in disrespect.

Real.
My dad's sister and mother had it. Both spent most of there lives institutionalized.
However it is a condition that is faked much more often than the very few real cases.
