1. Synthesis: With patients suffering from DID, each of their alters are very different. Many patient's alters suffer from other things, like in the case of Kim's alters; Judy is Bulimic and Rebecca struggles with suicidal tendencies. As Ringrose talked about in his article, his first patient's alters fought with each other. One day, one of his patients attempted to cut her own throat. The male alter she was in at the moment had thought if he cut her throat she would be killed but he would be unharmed. In the source written by Jesse Fox, they talked about how different alters can suffer from things like alcoholism, eating disorders, and suicidal tendencies. Overall, it depends on the person suffering from DID. Each case is different, and each alter is different. Different alters take control at different times throughout the patient's life. There are many cases showing that alters struggle with different things, and each alter is truly like its own person all living inside one body.
1.1. 2. If some patients struggle with depression, do all of their alters struggle with depression or is it just one personality? How do each of their alters differ?

10. Synthesis: The public opinion of Split Personality Disorder has changed drastically over time. Before the 19th century people suffering from DID never got the treatment they needed. People were afraid they were witches or demons and the patients suffered greatly. It wasn’t until the late 1800’s when Pierre Janet first noticed this psychological disorder. He brought it into the public eye a little bit. The big event that changed public opinion was the Three Faces of Eve case published in the mid 1900’s. This book and now a movie drastically changed what people thought of Split Personality Disorder. Christine Costner Sizemore, the person Three Faces of Eve was based on, fessed up to being “Eve” and she spoke to many people about the struggles with Split Personality Disorder.
10.1. How has public opinion of Split Personality Disorder changed over time? What events led to these changes?

10.1.2.1.1. ABCD- It is published by Columbia University Press, it is formal, Published in 2013 so recent, it has good information and it helps answer this question
10.1.2.1.2. Notes- -This was first seen by Pierre Janet in the late 19th century -Public awareness was increased after the Three Faces of Eve Case -In the 1980’s and 1990s doctors began to recognize the child abuse factor in the patients suffering from DID -Many people think there are too many diagnoses of multiple personality disorder
11. It is definitely challenging to live with someone suffering from DID. It is a challenge because they are constantly changing. Different alters want to be treated differently. A man does not want to be called Julie, even if that is the person’s name. Another challenge is that the different alters do not know what happened to the other alters. So you may need to have a conversation 15 times so that each of the 15 alters know what is going on. This is also a challenge for therapists because they never know which alter they will be treating on that day. Overall, it is a big challenge to live with someone suffering from DID.
11.1. 3. What is it like to live with someone with DID,what are some of the major problems they face?

11.1.3.1.1. ABCD-This does not have an author but it was published by the New Zealand Herald in Nov, 2009. This is a TV show review. This may not be the most credible source but because I am using it more as public opinion source so it fits the well with my topic. I will be careful using this source, knowing it may be biased, but it will provide solid evidence with what the public sees in Split Personality Disorder.

11.1.4.1.1. Notes: Family and friends should… -Be informed with DID -Be encouraging to your friend about treatments and therapy -Attend therapy appointments with loved ones -Encourage them to join peer support groups -Simply listen to them -Watch the signs and be aware of what is going on in their life
