well my girlfriend suffering from DID
my mother panicced thinking she is crazy and having 2 personalities(like now she is Chantal, tomorrow she is Betty).
And now my parents don't want me to see her.
but this DID thing she has, has nothing to do with that kind of split personality right?
how do i explain it to my parents now?
sigh*
I really love my gf.

> > 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

> Anorexia/bulimia may be present in those of us with bipolar disorder. Also, depression can severely impair one's self-perception (low self-esteem, self-deprication, self-hate, feelings of worthlessness). Such an impact on an adolescent's veiw of herself would contribute to the potential to develop eating disorders.
