Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is a dissociative disorder where there are at least two personalities in one person. Usually the individual personalities do not know about the existence of the others, but not always.

Not only are the behaviors of different personalities usually different, each of them has a separate identity, memories, and what is very interesting, sometimes even gender, IQ, blood pressure, visual acuity, sexual preferences, addictions or allergies and diseases such as diabetes. Personalities can also be of completely different ages. Nervous system function tests can reveal differences in the brain function of individual personalities in the same person.

The mechanism of the disorder is not well understood. As a dissociation, the multiple personality develops after very painful, traumatic experiences and crises in childhood related to death and sexuality. It is characterized by the disintegration of the ego, the integrity of which provides the ability to positively incorporate external events and experiences into perception. A person unable to internalize external events may experience a sense of emotional dysregulation, in extreme cases so intense that it leads to the dissociation of their own personality.

    Do you know how to treat patients with DID? maybe it's different for everyone considering that the causes of the disorder may also be different? I would love to know what do you think about it and what would be the most proven way to treat patients.

Should Lydia's husband be arrested?

           From legal point of view Lydia’s husband should be arrested, because he let his wife die. On the other hand he was depressed and he was not able to take reasonable decisions, that’s why his behavior could probably be justified.  Lydia presented a toxic personality. All the time she demanded somebody’s attention. Her husband was determined to devote the rest of his life to looking after her and he gave up everything for Lydia. However, he couldn’t make her satisfied and happy, as she was simply a mental-ill person. Several times she tried to commit a suicide. In my opinion she should be under hospital’s control.

"Five ways the pandemic surge in hand sanitisers may not be great news in the long term"

 Tonight I read an article entitled "Five ways the pandemic surge in hand sanitisers may not be great news in the long term" It is true that the use of hand sanitisers and other antibacterial and antiviral cleaning products has sharply increased worldwide since the pandemic started. It has certainly helped to stop the increase in viral infections, however, it has some side effects. I learned that one study found that the regular use of ethanol to sanitize hands resulted in relatively low but measurable levels of ethanol in the blood. While this was below acute toxicity levels, continued use can result in "chronic toxicity", increasing the risk of health problems such as eczema or skin cancer. It can even be fatal at times. Repeated use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers can cause antimicrobial resistance and increase other infections. Research has also shown that ethanol leaking into lakes, ponds, rivers and oceans can harm aquatic species. I believe that despite the

Borderline personality disorder

Obraz
Borderline personality disorder is a disorder that includes, but is not limited to, mood instability, identity disturbances, feelings of unfulfillment and emptiness. This dysfunction is characterized by the prevalence of negative feelings, fear of rejection, abandonment and disappointment, the inability to build stable relationships with others, and an inconsistent image of "me" distancing myself from certain feelings. Borderline personality disorder manifests itself both in a person's beliefs and in their behavior. The patient experiences alternately anxiety, anger, frustration, sadness, shame and boredom. These emotions generate stress, which further strengthens the negative attitude and perception of the world. Misunderstandings and paranoid symptoms often appear under the influence of severe stress. They may require hospital treatment. Borderline personality disorder is also characterized by the inability to cope with stress and crisis on its own. Instead of actin
