MULTIPLE PERSONALITY DISORDER
Multiple personality disorder is a condition where there are several completely different personalities in one body. It can also be called identity disorder.
It usually starts because of a child trauma such as sexual abuse, physical abuse e.t.c which makes the victim shut out this trauma by creating another identity. Alters are created because the host can't stand the pain of the trauma and makes it a way of escape from reality.
New alters can be born everytime a fresh shock occurs. Alters can be totally different from each other: they may be stupid or smart, intelligent or dullard, kind or cruel, introvert or extrovert, have the ability to speak in different unique language, have varied tastes and personalities. People suffering from Multiple Personality Disorder are normal people who have a family, job and have things they love until an alter takes over.
An alter could be in control for an hour, a day or even weeks making the host suffer loss of memory and time with no recollection of anything the alter has done, an alter may travel without the host knowing about this journey. A cruel person can do kind things while a kind person can commit act of cruelty as a result of alter ego. Treatment which involve support and counseling can help an MPD patient but it can't be cured. It has accounted for most cases of suicide and anxiety of the host.
PREVENTION
Parents should pay more attention to their kids and be their confidant, give them the freedom of expression so they could freely share what they are going through without having to bear the pains and depression alone.
