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.

This got me to thinking- would it be kind of fun to be crazy for a day (heck why not a week)? Like crazy crazy- would definitely be an experience.

Not my observations. As stated before, the few I have seen and believe were schizophrenics. One was normal until a bout with scarlet fever almost killed them. Not only did it damage them physically (via the brain) but it caused the secondary personality to appear. It was not fully identified till a full mental breakdown in the early 20's meant institutionalization and the schizophrenia was diagnosed. Every time I watch "A Beautiful Mind" it sends me back in time to that time.

Instead of seeing others as Nash did, they blacked out and another came out in them. Would be scary to find yourself in another state with no memories of the previous week or two and no idea how you got there. As stated in the post I was around the real Sybil and saw similar things in the other person I grew up with. if Nash could imagine other, how hard is it to imagine another self. The brain is still quite infant in our understanding of it.

It's funny because even when I was studying psychology years ago I always associated it with attention-seeking behavior which I see in transgendered/transsexual people. Sort of like "I want to be different", type of deal.

These people generally have much more blunted/lesser disorders that they try to amplify to feel unique. I would assume that a person who hears another voice in their head that tells them to do things is simply schizophrenic who has given their second inner voice a name and made it into a character.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a legitimate case, or even heard of one wherein there were no other reported disorders. There is almost always an underlying/lesser disorder that these people build upon and most of the people I checked in on with this problem (won't say disorder) were almost ubiquitously victims of child abuse.
