In Fiction...
[edit]...Seen a Law & Order episode featuring this. In this, a woman was arrested for a grisly murder. It turned out that she has this mental illness. Can a In Fiction section be used? Thanks. Nuclear Sergeant (talk) 16:13, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

in fiction
[edit]The character "Mike" from the TV show Total Drama: Revenge of the Island stated that he had Multiple Personality Disorder 174.168.61.76 (talk) 18:29, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
We should remove the infobox
[edit]The infobox is particularly problematic because it presents one cause "the trauma model" as fact, when it is disputed by the scientific community. It is particularly difficult to include the sociogenic model in there too. Infoboxes are not required on articles, and I think this might well constitute a WP:DISINFOBOX: "A box aggressively attracts the marginally literate eye with apparent promises to contain a reductive summary of information; not all information can be so neatly contained. Like a bulleted list, or a timeline that substitutes for genuine history, it offers a competitive counter-article, stripped of nuance. As a substitute for accuracy and complexity, a box trumps all discourse"
.The problem is I cannot see how it would be "improved" without becoming absurdly long and confusing. Thus, it makes more sense to remove it entirely. Zenomonoz (talk) 22:15, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

- I think the cause has been updated to "disputed". I agree with you, however, it a really long infobox, which sort of defeats the purpose. Allan Nonymous (talk) 13:10, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
Page should be deleted
[edit]or at least make it sure that it's clear that DID is a fictitious disorder 2A00:23C8:903:FE01:2C69:DE3A:315D:3FD3 (talk) 15:25, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- It's in the DSM, which is a reliable, peer-reviewed source. lizthegrey (talk) 18:59, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- The page shouldn't be deleted, but the disorder is certainly disputed as an organic phenomena. As for DSM, Allen Frances who lead the DSM-5 development wanted to delete the disorder entirely. Zenomonoz (talk) 00:22, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- Opinions are divided as to its origins, or whether it is even a naturally occurring disorder at all, but there is no doubt that there are those who show its symptoms or that it can be observed in parts of the world. The page should obviously not be deleted; DID is an observable phenomenon and whether one believes it is "real" or iatrogenic, culture-bound, sociogenic or caused by trauma, it is notable and merits inclusion. If you feel the article needs more information, you are welcome to contribute. ← 𝐋𝐞𝐟𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 01:42, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Key Features section has no sources
[edit]I know this is a controversial page and I’m afraid to wade into it, but the “Key Features” section makes a lot of claims without any sources. Some of that information might be relevant if it were presented as definitions of words commonly used by DID subcultures, but the section as it stands presents a lot of information as fact without any citations, and arguably contradicts some of the information written elsewhere on the page. 2603:8080:C900:850B:48F8:DED2:7E4D:AE36 (talk) 02:08, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- When it comes to such a heavy debated topic such as DID, the lack of any citation on the entire section makes it harmful to the integrity of the article. The user who originally added said section had made multiple additions to articles on the site with zero citations, and seems to show little regard to Wikipedia's content style. 76.68.185.74 (talk) 22:22, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
