Dissociative identity disorder

a.k.a people who has multiple personalities. I've always find this interesting. It's a common effect of severe trauma during early childhood, usually extreme, repetitive physical, sexual, and/or emotional abuse.

It's like daydreaming, or getting lost in the moment while working on a project. But, multiple personality disorder is a severe form of dissociation, a mental proces, which produces a lack of connectio in a person's thoughts, memories, feelings, actions, or sense of identity.

Causes are mostly because of:
1. Life threatening trauma before the age of seven. (Minor trauma is not enough. The child must fear for his or her life.)

2. Grade V hypnotizable Emotional Self.

3. Polarized parents - one good and one bad.

4. Polarization of siblings. Only this one is abused. The others are treated decently.

Symptoms:
-Inability to recall important personal information, for everyday events or taumatic events(Amnesia)
-Feels that the body is unreal and constantly changing or dissolving. Feels like she/he is out of the body and is watching a move of him/herself.(Depersonalization/out of body expirences)
-Believes that the walls, buildings, etc are changing in shape, size, or color. Fail to recon closerelatives or friends. (Derealization)
-headaches, body pains,
-phobias, panic attacks
-suicidal tendencies, compulsions, addictive behaviors
-mood swings, depression
