> > My wife suffers from what appears to me as split personalities. My dad seems to think that she may have some "easily cured" chemical imbalance. We are both twenty-two years of age now. From age 15 to about age 18, she suffered from severe depression (clinically diagnosed) and anorexia/bulimia. She received many counseling sessions during those years, as well as medications that did not help.

Nanc here, sorry to see that your wife is suffering. Could you share your wife's experiences on the medications she's tried? It may shed more light onto the kind affliction from which she struggles.

This "split" that you mentioned. What are the symptoms that you are seeing? Does she actually "become a totally different person" without memory of the "other people" she becomes? How frequently are these "splits" occuring?

Posting this information may trigger ideas or may be similar to experiences by others reading this board.

Please, take care,
N
