Dissociative Identity Disorder

Dissociative identity disorder (DID), also known as multiple personality disorder, is a mental disorder characterized by a person who has two or more separate identities that each has their own way of thinking and relating to the world. These identities take control over the person's behavior again and again. The person with dissociative identity disorder may also have difficulty remembering personal information that, like dissociative amnesia, goes beyond simple forgetfulness.

DID is one of the most controversial psychiatric disorders with no clear consensus regarding its diagnosis or treatment. Dissociative symptoms range from common lapses in attention, becoming distracted by something else and daydreaming.

Dissociative disorders have been attributed to trauma and other forms of stress that caused memory to separate or dissociate, but research on this hypothesis has been characterized by poor methodology.

In my opinion I think she might be sick but not of DID maybe she has a mental problem because what she does on the video looks like she is acting, it doesn’t seem to be real, anyone can act that has multiple personalities and everyone can believe it.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a disorder characterized by intrusive thoughts that produce anxiety, fear or worry, by repetitive behaviors aimed at reducing the associated anxiety, or by a combination of such obsessions and compulsions. Symptoms of the disorder include excessive washing or cleaning; repeated checking, extreme hoarding, preoccupation with sexual, violent or religious thoughts, relationship-related obsessions, aversion to particular numbers and nervous rituals, such as opening and closing a door a certain number of times before entering or leaving a room. These symptoms can be time-consuming and often cause severe emotional and financial distress. The acts of those who have OCD may appear paranoid and potentially psychotic.

 

Obsessive compulsive disorder affects children and teenagers as well as adults.

Despite the irrational behavior, OCD is sometimes associated with above-average intelligence. Its sufferers commonly share personality traits such as high attention to detail, avoidance of risk, careful planning, exaggerated sense of responsibility and a tendency to take time in making decisions.

I think this might be the worst disorder you can have because you have to be cleaning all the things that you touch like five times in just one hour or less than an hour, if I had it I might be tired of that and I will look for help, I know it might be difficult to get over that habit. The people that have this are sick and they need help, they need to ask for help because if they do it all alone they would never can get over it because they won’t leave that habit they have of cleaning all the things.

Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a category of mood disorders defined by the presence of one or more episodes of abnormally elevated energy levels, cognition, and mood with or without one or more depressive episodes. The elevated moods are clinically referred to as mania. Individuals who experience manic episodes also commonly experience depressive episodes or symptoms, or a mixed state in which features of both mania and depression are present at the same time. Severe manic episodes can sometimes lead to such psychotic symptoms as delusions and hallucinations.

The beginning of full symptoms generally appears in teenagers or young adults. Diagnosis is based on the person's self-reported experiences, as well as observed behavior. In some cases, it can be a devastating long-lasting disorder. In others, it has also been associated with creativity, goal striving, and positive achievements.

Bipolar disorder is often treated with mood stabilizing medications and sometimes other psychiatric drugs. These cases generally involve severe manic episodes with dangerous behavior or depressive episodes with suicidal ideation. People with bipolar disorder exhibiting psychotic symptoms can sometimes be misdiagnosed as having schizophrenia, another, different, serious mental illness.
