      Because of the greek name too it also gets conflated with a 3rd DSM-5 Diagnosis: BPD. Because "split mind" and "splitting" (black and white thinking in bpd) and "splitting" (D.I.D fracturing of consciousness)

      @@Um6r3x I was taught that in olden times, it was named that way because they saw it as the mind being split from itself. And that split facilitated the person's perception that voices, etc. are coming from an external source.
      I'm not sure whether that is entirely accurate or not, though--my psych professor was about to retire, and properly teaching the students who had paid for her class wasn't a priority for her anymore.

    I think the fact that mental health disorders are so stigmatised is really the main reason that the average person doesnt know much about psychiatric disorders. To them, mania, psychosis and dissociation are all just "insanity". We mentally ill people have been erased from society for genrations so we never got to tell our stories. Even the doctors didn't listen. This is still a huge problem, but I do think theres way more awareness of psychiatric disorders in the West now than just 10 years ago
    There're still living people who have been lobotomised. I think it will take some time before we overcome these generational traumas and stigmas, but videos like yours are certainly helping! Glad to see you back on youtube 💖
    Sincerely, an old subscriber who found your channel while being incredibly confused about what was wrong with them because no psychiatrist would agree (turns out it's probably DID!)

      Yes, exactly! It definitely doesn’t help, and only further contributes to the stigma of DID (and schizophrenia as well), causing people to completely invalidate those with the condition(s) because they don’t even want to acknowledge that it’s its own diagnosis/disorder, and is NOT a symptom of schizophrenia. I’ve even known people/systems who were diagnosed with BOTH DID and schizophrenia, and they have to fight so hard just to get the treatment they need & acceptance from family, friends & society in general because so many people have a different perception of what these conditions actually are. I don’t have either disorder, but I do have other mental health issues, so I can empathize to a certain extent as to how frustrating it is to have people who think they know more about your own mental health than you yourself & your doctors do.

    I want to note that there are also internal auditory hallucinations, which are quite similar to how alters present. Voices that are not coming from outside, but actually from inside. I learned this through the disgnosis journy of my own. This is why both disorders need to be diagnosed by professionals and can not be easily diagnosed by yourself in case of misdiagnosis.

      Telling my doc about hearing voices when nobody around was good with her. And then when I said "but they're coming from inside of my head, and they sound/feel different than my inner voice" just threw off the poor lady so bad. She still don't know what's causing it, but between the two of us I'm now on a medication that fixed the mania and the extra voices in my head about 75%.
      The unusual part is she's not a mental health doc, but a general medicine doc. She's been the first one who hasn't refused to try to help because it's not really her area of expertise.

    Also, it's not just the average Joe who don't know the difference between DID and schizophrenia. One of our many psychiatrists was so sure we were schizo spec and we were put on antipsychotics, but it didn't work and we also didnt really fit the diagnostic criteria for schizotypal disorder (we go by the ICD-10). I was having some scary, intense episodes of heavy dissociation and feelings of being possessed and my psychiatrist didnt even give it a thought that it could be something other than psychotic in nature
    To be fair, psychosis does run in our family, but we were treated for trauma so idk it seems very weird to me that it took them so long to acknowledge that I had a severe dissociative disorder instead of psychosis. I literally switched to child alters in front of them and they were like "hey can you do that child voice again that you did last week?" At that point, i didnt know it was DID, so I was just scared bc I didnt control my own body and their asses were NOT helping me. I do hate the Danish psychiatry a lot

    I'd take the word of the people in the Hearing Voices movement over what professionals say as to whether it helps them. The woman who did the TED Talk talked about how she had persecutory voices (or one voice it's been a few years) that shifted in tone when she started responding positively to it. I don't really trust professionals to actually have the best understanding of these things especially when people are going outside the clinical expectations, such as that particular movement. The HV movement addresses distressing, confusing, or difficult voices and how to manage them. People who have been through that with some success can help others. I also do not think that most people who hear voices could be said to have schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or another psychotic disorder as they only really report hallucinations. And they do not discourage their members from getting help if needed.
    A *lot* of professionals who are really uninformed about DID love to speak authoritatively on it and I've seen some really incredible claims from them for the sake of preserving the impression that DID is a controversial diagnosis that's possibly not even real, to the point of contradicting themselves rather than accept they don't actually know as much as they think they do.

    Wynn, thank you for covering this important topic. I can't believe that even today people still refer to DID and schizophrenia interchangeably.
    I do want to add that a person with DID can appear catatonic. This can happen when no one is in front which is not a common thing but can happen. I experienced this with my ex when she experienced a trigger that caused her to leave the front and no one else came forward. She sat there in a chair "frozen" and unresponsive for over an hour. It scared the hell out of me. I was having thoughts like what if no one ever comes back to the front again? I talked to them calmly trying to reach someone, anyone. Eventually an alter came forward. At the time I had never realized this could happen.

    Schizophrenia has often has "the voices", which appear as auditory hallucinations. These are kind of like different personas, but all they really seem to do is try to disrupt your routines, so they are not really personalities the way DID alters are.
    I think a major reason for the confusion is that people expect the DID alters to be rudimentary, one dimensional personalities. Not personalities with as much depth as a regular person.
    That is why movie versions of alters can usually be completely summarised extremely quickly. Yet real life ones need their entire backstory explained and often have unknown reasons for existing.
    The voices also appear in pretty much anyone with psychosis, as schizophrenia is really just when spontaneous psychosis happens in someone with little or no external factors.
    This means pretty much anyone can have them. People with schizophrenia are just much more likely to have them.
    DID and schizophrenia might have thematically similar things like having alternative intentions spring within ones mind. Though they are completely different things like gold and osmium are both precious metals but are not the same thing in terms of substance. Or even particularly similar.

    The crossover symptoms are why I discourage self diagnosis. My friends wife swore up and down she had DID but explained her symptoms and I said it was most likely BPD. She responded saying she was in fact diagnosed with BPD. She will still be seeing someone to rule out DID just in case, but she's not so worried about it now.

The world seems to be coming around to the idea that people are people and our brains are a lot more neurodiverse than we thought. All the years of preserved nonacceptance make it hard sometimes to diagnose what exactly is going on even if you are talking to a professional. The more accepting society becomes of each other differences will lead to better mental health results. Thank you all for helping as you can; it has helped me.

I have masked a lot in life and have a lot of identity confusion whilst also dissociating due to overstimulation and traumatic events. Used to think I was a system before concluding it was just a way to cope with masking and adapting to change. I think the concept is something that deserves a lot more discussion than it's given. Only really see professionals talk about it and never any information online.

    I would be very interested to hear you all's thoughts on the concept of Internal Family Systems therapy? From what I understand the basic premise is that the same structures of protector parts and emotional exile parts etc. would be basically always present in the mind/brain, and for most people these would take more covert forms of inner critics, negative coping methods, logical selves and inner child-feelings and so on. While in DID those same natural structures would present in stronger ways due to amnesia barriers etc. I hope that this is not an insensitive question. ❤ I just find it fascinating as well as kind of consoling that there's likely still so much to learn about our brains and all the things they can encompass and provide us with to help us survive and thrive.

    I haven't seen this channel show up in my feed in years! I hope you guys have been doing well.
    I watched your channel back in high school, before I even had any plural friends, in order to better write an OC with DID. They have since had some major tweaks to their backstory and one of the alters' personalities. It was-- well, the initial inspiration was tropes like Jekyll and Hyde and even once I first heard about DID specifically and wanted to incorporate that for "realism" I was still basing the system off of media representation, which is obviously not a good thing. I'm thankful for finding your videos when I did so I could do this character (characters? I guess I'm used to referring to their body as a singular still) and each person that makes them up justice and not perpetuate harmful tropes with them anymore.
    You all had such charisma and the way you explained things and gave examples really helped me better understand plurality. More than one alter making the videos also helped me see "Wow, that really is a different person now" to a better extent than just knowing from being told. And I think everything I had learned from your videos years ago helped me better connect with my plural friends that I met years after, because when I met them I didn't have the misconceptions and societal discomfort I might've otherwise had.
    I'm sure I still have plenty to learn and internalize, and I'm not always certain on terminology and how to word things, but I just really wanted to thank you all for taking the time to make so many videos educating people. Even though you're not professionals and even if some of the information ended up being false or outdated, the fact that you're making new videos correcting them is admirable. You've really made a difference, and I hope you also allow yourselves to rest and relax because I know how easy it is to drain yourself even when what you're making is something you're passionate about. I wish you all the best in life (also your hair looks cool)

    My first thought when you introduced the topic was like, "What's the difference? Everything! They are completely different types of disorders. How could you mix them up?" It's unfortunate that public knowledge is so lacking. It's honestly because of how poorly DID was represented in media that I didn't realize I was a system much sooner. I suspected it in my teens, but what I experienced was much less dramatic than cinematic portrayals of DID, so I dismissed the thought. To be fair, I have OSDD, not DID, so that accounts for some of it. But still. I do wish public knowledge on the subject were much better. I appreciate you putting information out there.

    I was an 80’s kid & back then “Schizo” was a synonym for MPD now DID. It was misunderstood on a level I can’t easily explain. You mentioned people believing that they are mythical creatures or animals. I’d be curious about the relationship between Otherkin & sonas to DID

    Similar thing also happens with schizophrenia and autism. I actually got my autism mixed up as schizophrenia back in 2010 by some people...who were medical professionals but not people whom I was a patient, but who were sort of teachers or something. Got kicked out of studies because of that.

    This is such a beautifully done video. You're a natural presenter and I could honestly watch/listen to you talk about anything for hours! Selfishly, please don't go again, lol. Please stay and make content - even just everyday stuff that isn't did related is fine. Just stuff about you, your likes, etc. The mannequin behind you looks interesting- kind of cosplayish? Would love to know more about your hobbies.
    Would you ever consider answering questions I have about DID? They're all respectful and non-intrusive. X

    Bessel van der Kolk explains in his book that, when they first began to study trauma (in war veterans), many patients got wrongly misinterpreted as psychotic because it wasn't yet established that flashbacks differ from hallucinations. Patients would report that they perceived sensory impressions that clearly weren't there in real time and space, so doctors understandably assumed that those were hallucinations. To this day, we can't know how many people who were diagnosed as schizophrenics were really/also traumatized.

    I think people get confused and/or they don't understand mental health disorders well enough to know the difference. There are many, many different disorders out there. I just recently learned some new things, and I'm very interested in mental health. I recently told an old friend I was hearing voices, and she took that to mean I have DID. Nope, my brain just thinks I don't have enough going on in my head, so it makes up new things for me to worry over.

I told him that I'd call Janet and 6 years later, he still asks me if I have called her yet. lol He's a completely different person when he's on his meds.

    I have severe schizophrenia, and CPTSD, my symptoms are often very similar to that of a system, to the point that psychologists have repeatedly suggested that i be tested for DID, i experience delusions that i am other people, such as a dead Na3i officer, a Japanese elementary schooler and a Catholic monk to name a few, i hear their voices in my head and experience catatonic episodes very similar to disassociation, in my time spent in homes for individuals with psychotic disorders i have found that the presence of fragmented personalities in schizophrenic people is very common, i will be making my own video on the subject of DID/Schizophrenia and would love to know if anyone here has had a similar experience?

      I don’t believe so as conditions like that are the brain working differently than a neurotypical person, IE I have ADHD so my brain literally works differently than a “normal” persons. If one alter has autism, the system has autism.

These are selfish people who don't understand anything nor do they want to. There is plenty info to glean from if they want to learn. I did.

    I think it is important to remember that while the two disorders are very much different, people with both DID and Scizophrinia (or any other mental disorder) are more similar than different.
    We are all just human beings doing our best to heal and live our lives.

    Hey!! I’m gonna add that sometimes the way that us headmates describe ourselves might seem like we’re being delusional lol. Like I’m a demon and tell people that are safe that I’m one hehe. But the kicker is that I’m in a human body! I’m stuck with my host and gang as a silly mental family. Like roommates lol. Oh and there’s the whole possibility of having exo memories (especially sometimes with fictives (like my in-sys bf) which might look that way lol.
    Cus we got a mental reality and a physical one (that’s how I see it at least hehe) and there’s so much whiplash between the two that it’s hard to not notice. My host got freaked by me a long time ago when I showed myself. Because I said that I said I was a demon. 🤣 But this demon really likes to go and spend hours chatting with friends and walking the dog.

      genuinely what's wrong with you? why do you come in the comments of someone with DID followed by multiple systems/plural folks and talk about how we're broken? why do you have to jump to the worst conclusion about DID? i won't comment on your belief as a whole, it doesn't concern me, we all have ours. but why does DID have to mean your spirit killed itself? why not "multiple spirits joined the same body/experience"? why do you HAVE to believe we're all broken and our spirits died? worst even, took its own life? sincerely, reevaluate your beliefs and maybe try to learn compassion. also educate yourself on basic ableism. the belief that neurodivergency means you're broken is still rampant in the medical industry and has lead to people being horrifically abused because they were different. DID is no exception and has badly suffered from this. if we're not serial killers then we're broken.
      seriously, educate yourself, learn compassion and come back when you've grown. holy shit. i can't believe i had to read this with my own two fucking eyes on a commznt section about destigmatizing DID (and schizophrenia).

    Could you make a video on BPD vs DID? I know they can often be comorbid, but I'm having trouble with BPD unstable sense of self and DID switching (especially non-possessive switching which I would also love a vid on). I'm wondering if I'm a system, but if I am I have non-possessive switches instead of possessive and complete amnesia of the inner world and who parts were in the inner world when different parts are fronting.
