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.

Billy Milligan- The most severe case of DID

Obraz
The most severe case of dissociation identity disorder was William Stanley Milligan. Twenty-four personalities have been diagnosed in him. Doctors conducting the medical "investigation" found that Billy's problems were closely related to his childhood and to his stepfather Chalmer Milligan, who not only beat or buried the boy underground, but also raped him and sexually abused. It was the time, when David's personality appeared for the first time, helping him to deal with anxiety and pain. More personalities appeared over time. The primary, original personality was 26-year-old William Stanley Milligan with blue eyes and brown hair, who was not able to graduate from high school. He constantly tried to commit suicide and was put to sleep by others. Next personality was 22-year-old Arthur. He had a dominant role, he decided which personality would be revealed and would take over consciousness. He was intelligent, unfazed, and spoke with British accent. He wore glasses. T

"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

An incident in the bus

When I was returning from school by bus,  few days ago, I witnessed an unpleasant situation. I saw a boy  at my age who had a broken leg. He tried to get to the exit door to get off at his bus stop but could not do it because the bus was very crowded. Even though he asked passengers to let him move forward, people ignored him. The boy couldn't get off. When he tried to do it at the next stop, the situation was supposed to repeat, but I loudly asked people to turn their attention to the boy and let him get off. They were embarrassed but reluctantly did it and the boy was able to get off and thanked me. I started thinking about the situation. I was wondering if people had not heard him? Was the boy talking too softly? Probably some passengers had not used public transport for months because of pandemia and they forgot about taking care of vulnerable people. For sure, it's not easy to be a senior or a disabled person in the society and to ask others for help every time.
