Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is a mental illness.
Many people know it as Multiple Personality Disorder, and many people confuse it with Bipoler Disorder.
But in fact DID is a complete disease, not part or symptom of any disease. So let's talk more about this disease.
It is called multi-entity disease in Bengali. It is understood what the disease is about. Man is one, brain is one, but some entities of different character are being created whose body is one and whose brain is also one. But their way of thinking is different, their character is different and their attitude is also different. They may have their own gender, race, or age.
.
First of all, why?
Suppose a small child, whether a boy or a girl who has been physically or sexually abused from an early age, is being dragged away. Suppose it started 6 years ago and maybe he was released when he was a teenager. Maybe he had to be the victim of something from someone close to him. About 90% of DID patients have such a history. If anything, he may become a victim of DID in later life. Some different entities may be born in him. The brain is basically a victim of that past and works to create a different character. Also, if someone close to you, a family member, has had DID before, you are more likely to get the disease.
Let's talk about the symptoms. Let's tell a story before that-
.
The boy's name is Shuvro, he works in an office. Suddenly one night he had a nightmare and woke up scared. I have not been able to sleep since then. I had to stay awake. From then on, he would stay up almost at night, and if he ever fell asleep, he would wake up for a terrible nightmare. Gradually he began to go into depression. Also, all of a sudden his anxiety started, he could not understand what was worrying him. He used to make various designs on his wrist with a fruit cutting knife almost at night, he used to take great pleasure in seeing his own blood. Although he was happy, he suddenly wanted to cry again. I would be very angry with myself again. But even if it was at night, he would not be in the office during the day. He used to work in the office like a gentleman, he used to have depression and headaches but his office work was not disturbed.
Suddenly one day he thought he was no longer white. He was a small child, in no way could he control himself. You have to give yourself to the body.
He woke up one morning and saw that he could not remember the night. Not in any way. The landlord came to her house and threatened that she had abused him last night. But Shuvro doesn't remember anything about that. Gradually he felt better when he died.
Suddenly one day sitting in the office, he thought he was in the fog, he did not understand anything. When he consciously opened his eyes he saw that he was in the hospital.
The doctor found out that he had jumped from the roof of Avis's building.
.
So this was the story and these are basically the symptoms of DID.
Depression, mood swings, insomnia, nightmares, unreasonable anxiety, sudden phobias, hallucinations, etc. can be called symptoms of DID, but the main symptoms are sudden loss of memory and personality change. This entity may change in seconds, may take 1 hour or may take two-three days. Usually the real person, he has no recollection of what he did in another entity. Whenever he begins to transform into another being, his memory goes away, and he cannot remember even if he wants to. Again with some exceptions the real being can all understand that he is being transformed into another being and is doing something that he is not supposed to do, but he cannot take control of the body, he is forced to do it.
.
Other entities may be adept at certain things. Suppose the patient is a very timid person, unable to speak on anyone else's face. But if he becomes his other entity, he may become very angry. His timid part will no longer work. Then maybe he became brave.
Maybe another of his entities is a very emotional type. He remembers anything, and he goes into depression. Maybe one entity is a lot of funny people, loves to smile all the time, again one entity may not be able to see people with their eyes, always behind harming them. Some entity may be an ignorant child, and some entity may be a 60-year-old woman. Some entities are probably very intelligent and, again, some entities are very stupid.
.
That person can stay for a long time by becoming a fake entity and then return to his own entity. Maybe he didn't remember anything, maybe he was compelled.
.
Now the question is, how many entities can there be? Patients with DID usually have at least 2-4 entities.
Besides, it may be 13-15 hours. It has also been observed that in different environments, different entities can wake up and take control of their body. If there is a trigger, another entity will come out in a hurry. All beings are made of the brain. Understand, then, that a brain can create a number of entities.
The funny thing is, this entity can be anything. Do you understand? "Anything".
The patient may be a man, but his other entities may be women, some entities may be animals, some entities may be another race, some entities may be a real man who has been copied, another entity may claim to be what it is, you can suppress him. No.
.
Anyway, this is the reason, these are the symptoms. Now let's talk about treatment.
There is no cure for this disease.
Don't worry, I said there is no medicine, I didn't say there is no treatment.
Psychotherapy, hypnotherapy can accumulate all the entities in the same entity, but it is the work of those experts. With the help of hypnosis, it is also possible to pull all the entities out of the mind, both conscious and unconscious, and bring them back to normal life by accumulating them in the real entity. So, there is no reason to worry. But the symptoms that are mentioned go hand in hand with other diseases, so there is no need to shout "I have attack by DID, may be i will be finished". You DID patients should not think that you are suffering from insomnia or depression at night. DID is a more deep subject.
.
Another thing that can be noticed is that in the rural areas it is said that this man is possessed by ghosts, his various strange activities make the people of the village think this. But maybe that guy is suffering from DID. The "Possession" thing goes right with the DID, because it doesn't make a person aware of it when it transforms into another entity, and it doesn't remember or control what it does after it transforms into another entity. So if you see someone like that without knowing it, it may seem that this man was walking in the middle of the garden at two in the morning. But if you can't think of that, help the man.
If you ever feel that something is not right, something is taking control of your body and you do not remember the memory of some time, then go to the psychiatrist immediately, I will go tomorrow or not. Because if you are infected with this disease, your personal life, family life, work life will all be destroyed for your other being.
Although it seems cool in the movie, in reality it is not a cool thing at all. Because the end result is death. Most patients with this disease have been seen to attempt suicide. Therefore, ★ Be Careful.
.
Anyway, there is nothing more to write. I have search all this, and I have written the available knowledge.I am no longer a psychiatrist, so I try to let you know what I know. When you tell someone else, a feeling comes in your body
Please tell, what's the story of them big puppy's ...........
For now, goodbye and thank you
