What is it called when split personalities have their own names memories emotions brain patterns etc.?
Multiple Personality Disorder or Dissociative Identity Disorder. These are both the same thing they just changed it.
What part of the brain is affected by dissociative disorder?
The nature of this disorder is still somewhat contraversial... it is diagnosed through the behaviours a person exhibits, and is not measureable on any brain scans. The concepts of personality and identity are still very fuzzy ideas in psychology and neurology
Is autism a religion?
No! Autism is a disorder that effects the brain.
How many people have multiple personality disorder?
Partly that they really DO NOT KNOW what it is that is why they keep changing names, relabeling and recatorizing it. They want to put multiples in a unique box and demand they live up to the diagnosis. The truth is that every multiple is different with ONE common denominator which is trauma in early childhood. Because every person is unique no multiple is alike. They cannot merely "tag" a person and say THIS IS YOUR PROBLEM! I can appreciate a more "scientific" point of view of the functioning of the human brain done by Dr. Fredrick Schiffer of Harvard. His study of the human brain actually proves that it is possible for two distinct personalities to develope in early childhood on both sides of the brain, thus creating a "separate" personality of right-brain, left-brain thinking, responses and developmental behaviors. Researchers are more objective in this study than therapists who love to take on such absurd notions that multiples are MENTALLY ILL and must be CURED of some disease or disorder. But in fact, those that suffer trauma and disassociated from it are relatively easier to convince that they should "control" such impulses themselves rather than treating the alters individually. This is why therapy takes TOO LONG in most cases. The "disassociator" is required by therapists to STOP DISASSOCIATING and TAKE CONTROL of themselves rather than BECOMING other people. They are doing MORE DAMAGE THAN GOOD because if one "disassociates" how can they be IN CONTROL when they "disappear"? Disassociators are NOT in control, period and research has proven the parts of the brain SHUT DOWN while other parts continue to function. It really is a fascinating study. You might want to pick up the book OF TWO MINDS by Dr. Schiffer. GOOD LUCK!
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.
What is palsy and what can cause it?
Palsy is a developmental disorder that effects the brain. It can be severe to barley noticeable. When you are born and don't get oxygen to the brain it can cause palsy.
Is ketamine an agonist or antagonist?
Ketamine is an antagonist at the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor in the brain. It blocks the action of glutamate, an excitatory neurotransmitter, leading to its dissociative and anesthetic effects.
Dissociation has been used as an explanation for?
the hypnotic pain relief Fugue states, symptoms of PTSD and generalized anxiety disorder, astral projection and OBEs. When dissociating, the limbic system (the "panic" center of the brain) is suppressed by the prefrontal cortex, which moderates and regulates emotional rationality. The result is feelings of unreality and a disconnect from the "I" function of the brain and the body.
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.
What is geodon the medicine for?
It is for Bipolar disorder and schizophrenia
What is an organic brain disorder?
An organic brain disorder refers to impaired brain function due to damage or deterioration of brain tissue.
What are the dangers of multiple personality?
The biggest danger of Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly Multiple Personality Disorder) is having one or more personalities unaware of other personalities and their actions. People with DID cannot recall important personal information. This is not due to forgetfulness or traumatic brain injury. If one or more of the personalities are aggressive and/or hostile, this can cause anything from embarrassment to imprisonment for the other personalities. Frequent gaps in memory occur, both for recent and past memory. There may be visual or auditory hallucinations. One personality may "wake up" and not recall where he/she is or how he/she got there. Other disorders may occur in conjunction with DID. PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) occurs in quite a few people with DID. Other disorders may include Mood Disorder, Substance-Related Disorder, Sexual Disorder, Eating Disorder, Sleep Disorder, and Borderline Personality Disorder.
