Mental Disorders Awareness v1

[ ] Dissociative Identity Disorder ( formerly, Multipersonality Disorder ) 

There was a little boy who had Dissociative Identity Disorder. He was proved to have approximately 67 personalities. He expressed all the symptoms of the disorder until he nearly succumbed fatally to the symptoms. Additionally, he had stern unusual belief that there was no right or wrong in this reality thus regularly indulging in promiscuity through his 67 alters, a tragic fate it was. 

Fortunately, he got attention of some white foreigners who had visited his secluded, rural based homestead. Coincidentally, one of the tourists was a psychiatrist so brilliantly identified the boy to display very convincing symptoms of the disorder. 

So the psychiatrist, empathized with the boy, legally organised a suitable treatment for him at the local mental institution where all mentally ill individuals are treated. Since the disorder was rarely diagnosed in the impoverished country unless one was from wealthy background, coupled with lack or insufficiency of facilities and psychologic skillset was significantly unattended, gave the foreign psychiatrist to raise awareness and push humanitarian concepts in alignment with WHO and other renowed international organisations that fight for human rights. 

 

Consequently, he got donations from international NGOs after he made a viral video asking for help so as to help more individuals, a devout philanthropist indeed. Ultimately, as a developing country, thanks to that heavenly saint, we set the bars high as we garnered international awareness and inspired a psychological and mental illnesses biggest break-through. The boy was diagnosed for 7 years, duly, he got treated and lived atleast like every other human being. The next paragraphs delve into the description of the disorder. 

Dissociative Identity Disorder, often referred to as DID, is a mental disorder that is characterized by the presence of more than one distinct personality within a single individual. Each personality is usually unaware of the others, and each has its own unique name, age, gender, and set of characteristics.

DID is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, and is often the result of early childhood trauma. Symptoms of DI9D can vary significantly from individual to individual, but may include memory loss, confusion, mood swings, difficulty distinguishing between reality and fantasy, and self-harm.

People with DID often require specialized treatment in order to manage their symptoms. Treatment may include therapy, medication, and self-care. With appropriate treatment, many people with DID are able to lead healthy, productive lives.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to treating DID, but some common methods include cognitive-behavioral therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and medication, hypnotherapy and psychotherapy.  

Some celebrities who have been diagnosed with DID include Marilyn Monroe, Tiger Woods, and Britney Spears.

Billy Milligan was a psychopath who was diagnosed with DID. He was known for his violent crimes, and he was eventually sentenced to multiple life sentences.

Billy Milligan was diagnosed with DID and was known for his violent crimes. He was eventually sentenced to multiple life sentences, but he served only 10 years in a mental institution before being released.

Do all patients with Dissociative Identity Disorder internationally deserve wht Mr Milligan got ? A diagnosis that saved him from his worst nightmare. I proudly say they should get diagnosed like patients and try work towards humanitarian goals. This closes the research, thank you.
