Sorry, yes, it is Dissociative Identity Disorder according to the docs - I'm guessing tis is based on her saying that she has no recolection of te 2 days prior to er being sectioned (to me this sonds like a polite fiction, but te docs must beleive its genuian)
I am 3000km away on the other side of te country, so details are a bit sketcy, but apparently te doctors didnt think she was psycotic on admission, and for whatever reason tey have ruled out bipolar.
I have often wondered about borderline personality disorder, bt of course thats all an amatur like me can do.
After a bit of reading, DID seems to be associated mainly wit severe neglect or abse as a child - we werent neglected, so I am now starting to tink the unthinkable, did one of te men in our life abse her?
I was going to fly home when it append, bt her sband and te doctors advised me not to - to allow her to have atleast one person who was close to her wo wasnt part of "it"
