Is it related directly or indirectly with spiritualism?
Re: DID - Dissociative identity disorder
indirectly
Re: DID - Dissociative identity disorder
Not sure what the question means.
However, if the question is asked this way then the answer would be:
No connection.
Two different things.
DID is a disease with negative connotation. Spirituality has positive attributes.
People with DID/Multiple personality disorder may get help from spirituality.
Re: DID - Dissociative identity disorder
So can we heal a person with DID through spiritual means?
Re: DID - Dissociative identity disorder
Actually I read that scoring higher on the measure of spirituality and ego strenght both cause DID. That is why I asked if there is any direct or indirect relations, cause or its effects on it.

so you are saying that if a person is highly spiritual or highly egoistic, he/she will have higher tendency to have DID/MPD?
Were there any particular reasons given for this conclusion? I like to read them since it's new/surprising for me.
Re: DID - Dissociative identity disorder
In Pakistan mostly aged womens says to each other that ‘Acha bhala Namaaz parhta tha pata nahi ab kiyon bauwla hogiya hy’ something like that. Don’t know how spirituality cause DID or not at all 
Re: DID - Dissociative identity disorder
There are some evidences to it.
Depends how it was defined. DID is still considered as a pathological or diseased condition.
This could be that someone with disturbed mind in the beginning tries to get involved in religious or spiritual activities but the condition is not properly treated and later shows as full blown disease.
For observers, it appears the person was fine but after religious or spiritual activities the person became lunatic or Baowla.
Re: DID - Dissociative identity disorder
Oh I must say, some irreligious people when read about religions do become baowlay. :D

Re: DID - Dissociative identity disorder
I know someone who is diagnosed with bipolar disorder but when she is in the phase she becomes a totally different person. She starts talking in cryptic manner. She becomes physically strong. She also exhibits signs of G*****ose delusion. I don’t know if its close to spirituality but when in that phase she freaks me out.
Re: DID - Dissociative identity disorder

Re: DID - Dissociative identity disorder
I think being non sprirtual is related to identity disorder
When you are spiritual, you discover your true nature, your talents and skills, your true potential, your self worth.
I guess it's about perspective too. For instance, Prophet Mohammad (saw) was a multi dimensional being. He was a judge, a teacher, a spritual physician, a physical physician, a philanthropist, a healer, a reformer, a strategist, a mediator, a businessman, an advisor, a community bulider, a friend, etc
But initially many people in Mecca thought that Mohammad was an eccentric person, some thought he was out of his mind, others thought he was a magician. Some nicer ones suggested that he was nothing but a delusional poet (naozubillah).
Re: DID - Dissociative identity disorder
In field of psychology there are serious questions about DID or even if it is a disorder at all (it is still listed on DSM). I remember one of my professor telling us that he has never met anyone with MPD in his entire life as a practicing psychologist. However, from what I have read, DID does exists & its shaped by cultural/religious influence from culture to culture (possession by demons/jins/ghosts, etc). In cultures where mental disorders are not well understood, spiritual explanation may very well make sense.
