writes:Hi, I think there is something wrong with me. I have split personality's. It sound's strange but true. One day I can be the most happiest person alive. I talk a lot sing loads, I buY lot's of nice expensive things for myself and I become very self confident and believe every guy in the street wants me (silly as it sounds!) but then I can become very depressed. When I'm depressed I have lot of sucidal thaughts. I am rude to loved one's and I tend to tell people I do not want to see them ever again when that is a lie. I do very strange things like I was on hoilday for a week with my family and I made up a boyfriend to gain attention. Also at parties and stuff I am all over anyone who would want me and that could result in me kissing like 5-10 guy's a night. It makes me come across as not a very nice person but I can not control myself.Please help me, I would just like to know if this is normal before I get any real helpGod Bless xxx

 Based on everything I was taught, I would say you don't have split personality. Technically speaking, you don't have Dissociate Identity Disorder or Schizophrenia which are the classifications you seem to be thinking. You do fulfill the criteria for having a disorder and by the sounds of it you have Bipolar 1 disorder with both major manic and depressive episodes. Your actions with the kissing of multiple guys and thinking every guy in the street wants you are both signs of manic episodes. Were it not for the intense switch in your emotion and behavior, I would have thought it to be disorganized schizophrenia, but you do not meet the criteria for that. In seeking medical help for this, should you decide it needed, I would suggest seeking out a psychiatrist as they are the only therapists in the field who are permitted to prescribe drugs for any disorders should they be required. I hope this helps and apologize for talking so much.

It ia virtually impossible to properly diagnose you here. You need a professional to do it. You start of with going to your GP or Paediatrician if you still have one. S/he will then recommend a Psychiatrist who will run some tests. Everything is free on the NHS, they even pick you up from home if necessary. Also visit this website: www.dsmivtr.org. It is the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for mental disorders and is used throughout the world as the standard. You might be able to identify some of your symptoms but ultimately you need a pro to help you but no harm in researching for yourself. Don't be ashamed; the biggest problem with patients is admitting they have a problem so if you recognize you need help already then your outcome will be excellent.

reader, anonymous, writes (28 December 2009): Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) is closely related to schizophrenia. Though its not the same thing.The chances of anyone having ONE split personaloty is near impossible. When a person's mind is fractured into distinct personalities (usually in an effort to cope with some emotional or phyisical distress) it is usually fractured to at least three, or in most case many more.So it is unlikely that you have this disorder. Again I agree with others that you most likely have Bi-Polar disorder (or what they once called Manic Depression).However get yourself to a psychiatrist because they are TRAINED in these sorts of things. But also try to avoid becoming TOO dependant on medicines to deal with your issues, as this often leads to other issues.Flynn 24

 It sounds like you have bi-polar disorder. You need to see a psychiatrist and have them figure out which medication will stabilize your moods so that you're running on an even keel.
If you keep going like this, it will interfere with your life and make you very unhappy.
Its normal to have occasional mood swings depending on circumstances. But overall, when you go from being elated to being suicidal, back to elated and then suicidal that's bi-polar disease.
Its not an unusual occurrence and there are medications out there that are used effectively to treat these symptoms.
Please get yourself some help! I have known many people that suffered from this, and it was painful watching them deteriorate. Please do get help.

It could be that you're suffering from depression. I think you need to talk to your doctor, because it can be controlled. Don't be afraid. This is normal in quite a few people, so there's nothing to worry about.
