re: Multiple Personality Disorder- Real or Fake?

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.
