True or False? (psychology)
Dissociative identity disorder is no longer controversial as the production of books and movies has raised a new understanding of the affliction.
Dissociative identity disorder is a mental illness in which the person is diagnosed with having two or more different personalities with memory gaps or forgetfulness in between these different personality states.
The disorder is a controversial one, and the movies and books focusing on the disorder have failed to reduce this controversy as these books and movies often associate the disorder with violence and crime and ignore other important aspects of the mental problem.
The movies and books are often written and made to make the disorder seem more dramatic and hence, often revolve around thriller or horror genre and do not portray the personal struggle of the sufferers, the patients are actually tended towards hiding their disorder rather becoming too violent or dramatic as shown in the movies and written in the books.
Hence the movies and books only heighten the controversy associated wit the disorder.
