Re: "multiple systems"

I'm glad you included the "(according to those who even believe it is real)", because including DID/MPD in the DSM is hugely controversial. I think it's more likely to be a therapist-induced condition than it is a spontaneously occurring mental illness of its own.

Mind elaborating?

NAYRT, but a quick google will show you that many authorities disagree on exactly how this disease works, and if it really is a unique condition.

I'd say it's more culture-induced than therapist-induced, like the Wendigo Syndrome among Native AMericans or Jerusalem Syndrome among Abrahamic religions worshippers.

However, you still need to have experienced some kind of trauma that would make you want to believe that you're someone else to begin with. A person with a happy, healthy life doesn't do that.

As a personal example, I suffered abuse as a child and imagining a different person inside me - strong, cool and uncaring - gave me strength and helped me deal with my feelings of hate towards my abusive parents, because it allowed me to visualize the abuse as happening to someone else, while my Cool Self could remain invisible and unbroken. No one suggested it to me directly, but I've seen movies with the concept of MPD, so knowing that it was possible for someone to have an alternate self was what made me visualise it and convince myself it's real.

I only got over it once I grew up, moved far away, broke contact with everone who reminded me of the darker times, and made peace with my past, but I'd be lying if I said that the urge to split doesn't still come back every time I find myself under a lot of stress.
