I was wondering about Dissociative Identity Disorder / (aka Multiple Personality Disorder) and the woman known as the Troops for Truddi Chase.
have some questions, .... but let me start by saying this;
I do not have the diagnosis of D.I.D. (my psych records reflect Fragmented Personality Disorder instead) and secondly, my understanding of the diagnosis is limited and I do not want to offend anyone with my ignorance of D.I.D.
First, can anyone tell me if the Story about Truddi Chase was deemed to be authentic?
The autobiographical book she wrote, "When Rabbit Howls", was it deemed to be authentic and true as well?
If so, I wonder why she / the troops did not integrate?
And how she was able to be high functioning since she did not integrate her alters?
Now what brought these questions to mind?
I am interested to learn as much about the diagnosis as I can.
Also, I am thinking of watching the movie "Split". Yet, I don't want to feed my head with nonsense (so I will read the thread about that Movie as well, after creating this thread).
I enjoy thriller movies, but want to be able to separate fact from the fiction and there is a movie based on The Troops for Truddi Chases' story as well. Which I may or may not watch, depending on the outcome of this thread.
Can anyone with more knowledge on the subject of High Functioning D.I.D., please educate me here?
I think it best to better educate myself on the subject before watching either a biographical account or a fantasy movie based on the diagnosis.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
