Anthony Padilla (you might know em’ from smosh) interviews a lot of different people and asks them about their experiences

This is a very controversial mental disorder, from what I’ve seen on discussions about it, a lot of people seem to think it’s bullshit. I’m certainly no expert myself. It’s a very peculiar disorder.

Anyways YouTube now puts little tags under videos to let you know if they are from a mental health professional, here are some videos by experts

And here is an about an hour long podcast of a schizophrenic interviewing a woman with DID, they go in depth about what it means to live with DID and where it comes from. (Trauma) They talk about switching/moving between the personalities/alters at 15:21.

From what I’ve learned there are different archetypes for what the personalities manifest as, it might be a different gender/ethnicity/age etc, but there usually seems to be an innocent child personality, and a protective guardian personality, there might be a personality that doesn’t speak, and the amount of personalities someone has can vary.
