I seriously doubt it since in 1990 Metallica was fairly heavy into demonic and satanist/occult style writing. More likely it was written with demonic possession in mind.
The single most controversial psychological disorder is?
The single most controversial psychological disorder is likely dissociative identity disorder (DID), previously known as multiple personality disorder. Controversy arises due to debates about the validity of the diagnosis, the role of societal influence on symptom presentation, and the impact of popular media portrayals on public perception. Research in this area continues to evolve to address these concerns.
What is similar between schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorder?
Although so-called schizophrenia is said to be a brain disease, while DID is acknowledged to be a psychological reaction to traumatic life events, so far no evidence has been found to support this distinction, and prove the brain disease hypothesis of schizophrenia to be true. In fact, newer research strongly indicates that both are caused by childhood trauma. Dissociation is not restricted to DID, but can be observed in schizophrenia as well. If a person is labelled with schizophrenia or DID depends on to which extent dissociation in relation to other trauma responses is predominant. If a fight, flight, or freeze response is predominant, the person will most likely be labelled with schizophrenia. If dissociation is the predominant feature she will probably be labelled with DID.

Should you be concerned that your husband after an accident that the end result was a penectomy is accepting it better then you are after only 1 and half month?
I think you should be concerned that your husband is dealing with a monumental event that is going to change many aspects of his life, as well as yours, and perhaps it hasn't "sunk in" yet. He likely has not actually come to terms with it at all (shock is not uncommon in such situations). More likely than not, he is in the first stage of grief, which is "denial". Historically--and across many societies--the phallus is the iconic representation of not only male virility, but also of the male "spirit". To lose it (unless he has gender identity issues--like gender identity disorder, or gender dysphoric disorder) is often, essentially, like losing manhood itself. He should be expected to grieve it, just as we grieve anything that is important to us. Please research the 5 stages of grief for more information about this. It COULD also be that your husband is afraid to express his concerns and worries about being able to maintain a healthy sexual relationship, and is putting on a "brave face" for you. Men are globally engendered to be the "problem solvers" and protectors, and to show such vulnerability is extremely difficult for many. He may not be able to express his true feelings--in fact, he may be so disassociated from his own true reaction to the event that he honestly believes he is dealing with it well. This is a form of dissociative disorder (such as fugue) which often occurs in traumatic situations. I would definitely recommend getting into couples counseling for the both of you. It couldn't hurt, and more than likely, it could help to stave off relationship issues down the road. Best of luck to you!!

In California do I have to go to a Hearing if I want to change my name for gender identity?
No. (CCP 1277(a)(1, last sentence)) However, if you don't mind going and can go, according to the experience of eznamechange.com, you may be able to help avoid the court's possible mistakes in processing your Petition as it would a non-gender identity Petition. And, you will likely be able to get your Certified Decree at that time too-a double benefit.
