Today on draw my life, multiple personality disorder
I am sure you have seen or heard of Split . the movie
in this film we are introduced to Kevin Wendell . a man who lives with 23 different personalities
multiple personality disorder  or as it is known to experts  dissociative identity disorder  is characterized by the presence of several distinct personalities in one person
from 2 to 100 personalities
it is a rare disorder and affects a small part of the worlds population
and the great majority being women
contrary to popular belief these people can lead normal lives
they have jobs, partners, families
it must be made clear  they are not dangerous to others  but sometimes they are to themselves
all of the identities have their own history  name,  age  and way of life
usually one or two personalities predominate
however the person is often unaware of their existence  having amnesia of the memories when these others are manifested
over time they begin to know about the existence of their personalities when they notice changes in their life
for example credit card purchases they do not remember making
In the world of psychology  there is much debate about it
while some claim the existence of this disorder . others argue that it is a fantasy created by patients . and there is no such thing as multiple personality disorder
experts who claim the existence have linked it to child abuse trauma
personalities emerge as an adult as a defense mechanism to deal with these traumas
this disorder needs treatment with a good specialist . who tries to reduce or merge the personalities to improve the patients quality of life
This is carried out progressively . Its not something you can get overnight . But a good diagnosis in time is the key
