How do you know if your child has multiple personality disorder?
Narutoiscool
My child is always depressed one minuet, then happy the next, she runs of angry to her room and when I go in there she is happily playing on her computer seemingly unaware as to what happened also regularly spaces out, what should I do, should I take her to a psychiatrist?
If your child has never suffered from any major dramatic trauma then she is highly unlikely to have MPD/DID. She could be bi-polar. Either way if you are concerned with her behavior then taking her to a psychiatrist is a very good idea. It can't hurt, right? Good Luck.

Disorders similar to bipolar disorder?
borderline personality disorder Not by a longshot.....Borderline personality disorder is a personality disorder that involves the thought processes of the individual who has it. There is no chemical component and, although meds can control some symptoms, they cannot manage all as is the case with bipolar disorder. Borderline personality disorder is difficult to cope with because it can mimic any and all psychiatric disorders, including bipolar disorder...but also schizophrenia, sociopathic, psychopathic, depressed, etc. Typically, there are lies and manipulation involved. There is more self-mutilation (basically, self-mutilators are diagnosed with this) and other self- destructive behaviors. YES, they can have mood swings, but much faster and more often that ohse with bipolar disorder. I don't know who answered this, but they are WRONG. Want examples? Go look up famous people with each disorder. You'll see....good luck!
