Has anyone had a close friend or family member that has been diagnosed with Multiple Personality Disorder?

daniel keyes.

i cant really explain it...its just so amazing how incredibly detailed and complicated the human mind is. i was a total skeptic until i read this book. its a true story, about a man named billy milligan. he has over 20 personalities in his head, and one or two of them commited a few crimes. he actually got off of the charges bc "he" did not commit them. each of his personalities has different talents and intelligence levels. each of them excels in their fields. some of the personalities go back to the day he was born, and "they" remember things that his mother attests are true, and he couldnt have known. i got my newest copy off of ebay, for like 4 bucks, shipped.
i really hope you can find it, bc its sensational. (and i'm an english major :))

pretty much any gemini i've ever met has multiple personalities!

Anyway, joking aside, have they been checked out for being Bipolar?

It will be a little while before I get it because the whole county only has one copy and it is checked out and there is one hold on it.
