"see, how amazing your brain is." (Winnie, 2009)
i have had an extremely interesting psychology lecture today
we were talking about psychological disorders
u will never know
how amazing our brain is!
okie
let's define psychological disorder:
any pattern of behavior that causes people significant distress, causes them to harm others, or harm their ability to function in daily life.
one of the most interesting psychological disorders that really make me feel WOW
is DISSOCIATIVE IDENTITY DISORDER (it's also called MULTIPLE PERSONALITY DISORDER)
well
in our normal life
some of us maybe say that
'oops, i think that guy is having multiple personality disorder, his behavior is totally different at home and school.'
hmm
yaa
we used to say that someone has split personality
because of his/her different behavior in some particular places
but actually
this is DEFINITELY WRONGGGG
according to the past researches
a person who suffers from DISSOCIATIVE IDENTITY DISORDER is actually creating another character to avoid himself/herself from disaster
the disaster here means some unacceptable incident like sexual abuse, being bullied etc etc..
for example
jenny was sexually abused by her neighbour when she was five years old
she was so afraid of being sexually abused again
she started to create a character called jane unconsciously
so whenever her devil neighbour came close to her and did the same things to her again
she would change to jane unconsciously
that's mean jane is the one who suffers and being abused but not jenny
so
after jane change back to jenny
jenny would not feel any unhappy or fierce
nothing happened to her at all
the interesting part is
people who has DISSOCIATIVE IDENTITY DISORDER can create many characters instead of only one
go back to jenny
when she was in primary school
she was bullied by someone
unconsciously, she would create another character called george
george was strong and able to protect 'himself'
see, although jenny is a girl but she created a male character who can protect her from being bullied
interesting yaa?
that means the characters who are being created can own different ability even the origin person doesn't own it
there was a case that talking about a patient
he was an ENGLISH
he created a character who was RUSSIAN
and the RUSSIAN could speak very fluently russian
the point is, the patient never step out from england before
and he never learned russian before at all!!
amazing huh??
according to researches
this disorder is happened UNCONSCIOUSLY
it means that u will never know what is going on!!
i know that it's a bit confusing
but no worry
just to share what i have learned
and i think we should know something about it
so guys and girls
stop saying ur friends have split personality
AGAIN
HOW AMAZING YOUR BRAIN IS
