“DID may be underdiagnosed. The image derived from classic textbooks of a florid, dramatic disorder with overt switching characterizes about 5% of the DID clinical population. The more typical presentation is of a covert disorder with dissociative symptoms embedded among affective, anxiety, pseudo-psychotic, dyscontrol, and self-destructive symptoms, and others (Loewenstein, 1991). The typical DID patient averages 6 to 12 years in the mental health system, receiving an average of 3 to 4 prior diagnoses. DID is often found in cases that were labeled as "treatment failures" because the patient did not respond to typical treatments for mood, anxiety, psychotic, somatoform, substance abuse, and eating disorders, among others. Rapid mood shifts (within minutes or hours), impulsivity, self-destructiveness, and/or apparent hallucinations lead to misdiagnosis of cyclic mood disorders (e.g., bipolar disorder) or psychotic disorders (e.g., schizophrenia).”

“Two people pass each other. As one looks upon the other's skin color, the other is looking back at their appearance. Both justifying, how better and righteous they are, in their own insecurities.”

“В ежедневното общуване хората са склонни да не показват емоциите си. Его-защити могат да възпрепятстват осъзнаването им дори от страна на субекта, а различни социални норми, страх от или неспособност за себеразкриване да ограничат индивида до културно предписани схеми на това "какво, кога и по какъв начин трябва да се чувства". (Например: когато почине близък човек, трябва да се изпитва тъга, която задължително следва да се материализира в общоприети ритуали на печал.)”
― Калин Янев, Научен хуморизъм

“It has many forms, not all of which look like what you see in movies.”
