DID - Dissociative identity disorder

[MM]

I'm not sure if it's a recognized disordder or now, but I know two people whp claim to be diagnosed with DID. Neither of them and/ or their 'identities' are influenced by culture or religion.
One of them is a more extreme case than the other. And it's not a new or recent issue that they have been faced with.
One of them is 30 now and states he was diagnosed with DID between the age of 12 and 16.

Like the person above said, i think any mental illness that is not accepted socially, religiously, or culturally is pinned as a sort of "religious trauma." main reason being lack of knowledge or understanding.

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 (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).

Make sense

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.

I meet my friend’s uncle who before saying something close his eyes maximum for one minute than talk or know what I am going to say. I don’t whether his condition is called being ‘spiritual’ not DID.
