Multiple Personality Day

By Judie Mackie on March 5, 2010

 

Sybil

Sybil

Now before you readers start with the hate mail, I often use these unbelievable Hallmark Holidays to bring awareness to certain causes. This may not be the best comparison, but for those that remember Squirrel Appreciation Day, it was rather controversial.

 

Multiple personality disorders have touched the lives of those dear to my heart and I simply want to bring more awareness to this illness. This is very misunderstood and most people think of Sally Fields in the movie Sybil. While the truth is, many of us have experienced some form of very mild Dissociative Identity Disorder (the newer and more politically correct name) when getting lost in the moment or even daydreaming.

Another huge misconception associated with dissociative identity disorder is calling it Schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is NOT a multiple personality disorder.

Multiple Personality Day

Dissociative identity disorder is commonly found in persons who suffered severe trauma during early childhood such as physical, sexual or emotional abuse. The dissociation is thought to be a coping mechanism to help the person deal with these experiences.

 

It is the most severe of these cases that may develop into full-blown multiple personalities. Diagnosis is difficult, even for professional experts in the field. Severe dissociative identity disorder is characterized by the presence of two or more distinct or split identities. The personalities each have their own age, sex, race and they may be other species that are all fairly resonsive to hypnosis.

Other types of dissociative disorders include dissociative amnesia, dissociative fugue, anddepersonalization disorder.

Some common symptoms associated with dissociative disorders include:

Depression
Mood swings
Suicidal tendencies
Sleep disorders (insomnia, night terrors, and sleep walking)
Anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias (flashbacks, reactions to stimuli or triggers)
Alcohol and drug abuse
Compulsions and rituals
Psychotic-like symptoms (including auditory and visual hallucinations)
Eating disorders

I dont know who or why March 5 is designated as Multiple Personality Day, but this is a great opportunity to help increase awareness. As always, if you have questions about these or other mental illnesses, please seek professional medical advice.

One day my BOT and I were chatting about this and that, and the topic of "voices in your head" came up. BOT said "You should always listen to the voices in your head."

I said "I don't think so. If I had listened to the voices in my head, you would have been dead a long time ago."

He didn't sleep for the rest of the trip.
