With multiple personality disorder are the personalities aware of each other and what they are doing?
Yes, in some cases.
But only once these separate personalities become aware of each other's existence.
Instead of say, "losing time" when they're not in charge, they can be involved in each other's day-to-day activities (such as looking on while the other performs their tasks), and have opinions of each other.

What kind of a disease is multiple personality disorder?
Multiple personality disorder, or dissociative identity disorder, is a mental disease. It is when a person has two or more personalities that are not aware of the other(s) or does not identify them as being connected as being within the same body.
Do people with Disociative disorder believe that they are sick?
If you are referring to Dissociative Identity Disorder, then that person is probably not even aware that something is wrong. People with DID have multiple personalities that may or may not be aware of each other, so the person rarely remembers things that have been done or said because a different personality takes over. If you were referring to a different dissociative disorder, then you need to be more specific.
Does a person with multiple personality know each of the personalities?
Not usually. In some cases, people with dissociated personalities are aware of their alters, but usually not unless they are receiving therapy. The purpose of therapy is to re-combine the personalities, which first involves recognizing them.

Who were the persons with split or multiple personality?
If someone were to feel like they were fading from existence, and somehow imagine several others into being and play those parts, but block off the memories during those times - that would be split or 'multiple personality'. There are further diagnistic 'criteria' for DID, and the diagnosis is highly controversial. Famous cases include Eve and Sybil, although most every media case has come under scrutiny and their therapists shown to use bad reporting and dubious practices. Multiples, those people who share a body, do not have split personalities or multiple personality disorder, as they do not meet the diagnostic criteria and are self-aware, not fragments or copies.
What is a person called with a split personality disorder?
Dissociative Identity Disorder, commonly known as split personality disorder is a psychiatric disorder in which the patients displays two or more distinct identities (like alter egos). Each identity is completely different to the other with their own habits and ways of interacting with the world. For DID to take place the personalities must both routinely take over the persons behaviour. The person will have no recollection of what happened whilst being controlled by the other personality nor will have knowledge of the existence of the other identity. Symptoms include: unexplainable headaches and body pains, depression, severe memory loss, flashbacks of abuse or trauma, unexplainable phobias, comorbidity (the presence of another disorder medical or psychological), sudden anger without cause. Patients with DID have often suffered severe childhood trauma or abuse.
Do patients who have Dissociative Identity Disorder or Multiple Personality Disorder have a dominant personality?
Most dominant personalities are the ones that deal with external life issues. They MUST be strong so that life can do on as normally as possible. Myth - That core / host personalities are the weakest link to any system Myth - That child alters are mere reflections of memory rather than having a life outside the abuse loop. Myth - That MPD / DID is a "mental" disorder. It is rather a coping skill. Myth - That those with multiple personalities are "disabled" and cannot function in life. Myth - That dominant personalities are the ones that seek out help the most. Myth - Dominance has to do with "birthright", meaning that the core is suppose to be the one encouraged to dominate the systems inside. This almost is never effective. Host personalities or core personalities are usually the ones who do most of the disassociating and have most of the memory loss. It is impossible for the core to be "in control" of the rest of the internal system. - The above refers to multiple groups who have been classified, often incorrectly, as having DID. For the multiple groups who do not have a disorder and would never meet the diagnostic criteria, being self-aware, and often sharing memories, there is a slightly different answer. 'Sometimes'. In the same way there are 'type A' and 'type B' personalities, in any multiple group there are extroverts and introverts, and those who like to boss others around, and those who are naturally better at leading, and also those who are naturally more selfish. (Generalization, multiple groups vary quite extremely) Groups vary on how they 'divy up time'. Some give it out equally, some it is a free for all, others make up very finely detailed rules. In some groups switching without permission is allowed, in some it is not. Myth - That having multiple people sharing one body must be a disorder, or a coping skill. Multiplicity is quite often naturally occuring, and having many people sharing one body is in no way a detriment to life unless individuals let communication issues or other problems get in the way - just like family. Myth - That having different people in one body means the 'first' one needs help or must have suffered trauma This is probably the largest myth multiples face, that their very existence means something went 'wrong' in the first person's life, and that they are merely the fragments caused by inability to process trauma in order to help cope Back on topic: The dominant personality, if there is one, in a multiple group is the person with the most 'dominant personality' - jsut like the 'dominant personality' in a room full of people is the person with the most dominant personality. This does not mean that persons always gets to make all the rules or be out front all the time, although often the most type A of the group will end up in front a lot, and the shyest will stay in back. The person with the most dominant personality may not be the 'strongest' or the 'smartest' either. Who is 'most dominant' can change, especially according to situation. A person who is usually forceful and likes to be out and about, but hates 'boring things' might not want to front during a museum tour. Or, if everyone has 'assignments' - such as who talks, who writes, who sings, etc, the force of individual personalities may not come into play as much.
Is Nicki Minaj crazy?
I quote Wikipedia:While growing up, Minaj's home life was often chaotic, with her parents constantly fighting.[105] As a means of escape, she would create characters and live her life through them.[105] In an interview with New York she stated, "To get away from all their fighting, I would imagine being a new person. 'Cookie' was my first identity - that stayed with me for a while. I went on to 'Harajuku Barbie,' then 'Nicki Minaj'. Fantasy was my reality."[105] She seems to suffer from multiple personality disorder, so yes, she's slightly insane. Why is she still popular? Probably because her fans are mentally retarded.References: 105: Lizzy Goodman (June 20, 2010). "Nicki Minaj, the Rapper With a Crush on Meryl Streep". New York (magazine). http://nymag.com/guides/summer/2010/66786/. Retrieved July 22, 2010.I am a psych major, so this is kind of my thing.I believe you mean Dissociative Identity Disorder, it is no longer called Multiple Personality Disorder. That being said, Nicki does not have it. She is fully aware that she is just playing these "alter-egos", she does not genuinely believe that she is that person. Furthermore, she does not state that she has strange gaps in her memory which is a clear, mandatory symptom of DID. A person with DID, dissociates, and then "wakes up" as another person. The true self, has no idea that the other personalities exist until an outside party tells the true person about the other personalities. The reason they changed the name from Multiple personality disorder to Dissociate Identity Disorder is because that the host dissociates, which is key. Nicki does not dissociate and go into another personality, she willingly decides to play these other alter egos. Nicki is very strange, and probably has some mental issues from her past, but she does not have a personality disorder. She is crazy though in a sense that she was fired from over 15 jobs, for just plain being rude to everyone, but she is not certifiably crazy.

Mental illness is it conscious or unconscious?
Mental illness is both conscious and unconscious. A person who is experiencing psychosis is typically living in an altered state of reality. A person with multiple personality disorder and schizophrenia is living in and out of a state of reality consciousness. But even a person living in a psychosis may not be aware of their illness. The symptoms are never as clear as physical illness.
How many people have been diagnose with multiple identity disorder?
Great material for a joke, but multiples (Dissociative Identity Disorder/DID) are not funny. The exact number is unknown. There were a lot of diagnoses back in the '90's, some of which were discredited, and the actual number is though to be much lower than was formerly reported. There is no question, however, that DID cases exist. The writer is personally acquainted with one person with at least three multiples and complete dissociation among all three -- meaning that none of the three are aware of the others, and there is complete amnesia between personalities.
