MPD is short for Multiple Personality Disorder. Everyone knows this disorder, but not many have actually seen someone with it. I haven't. But I can say that I've seen a psychic that has gone into a trance in order to be a medium...have a spirit come in and talk through them. I can only go by one person's account, but I've been told they are not within thier body when this occurs. It started me thinking, most people that have MPD state they cannot remember what is said when they are "not there". most times when I see a medium bring someone forward, there whole personality changes to match the persona of what they are allowing to come through them. Same thing happens to someone that changes during an episode of MPD. Is there sometimes a connection between the two?

That is a good question.

From what I have heard, the difference might be that a person with MPD acually has made a different person sometimes in order for them not to feel like the results of a trauma. They will kinda make up a different kinda "character" to take care of the hard stuff in their lives.

As well as others to live different part of their lives for them. But I hear different accounts, one might be that it is a chemical imbalance, while others say the it is the person themselves doing it to protect them from whatever it is they feel threatened from.

Not sure but this is a great question Greg. Thanks for sharing it with us and once again making us think..lol...

I think it could be any of those depending on the person. Not sure how you can really figure out which is medium ship, chemical imbalance, or a person who suffered either a traumatic experience mentally or physically, but your right.. it is a great question!

However we know that the medical community always jumps to the most likely conclusion which NEVER includes metaphysics! Can't help how many people underwent shock therapy or other terrible and cruel treatments for "hearing voices" that might have been nothing more than hearing ghosts or spirits!

I agree Tanya as this is so sad..

BIG HUGS!!!

Oh yeah! I agree completely!

Hello, I have a few friends who are MPD and I have consulted on cases. It takes some time to ID medical and metaphysics. People who are MPD have many different people living in the same body. Yet, one person can be taller then the others, and can be male or female. One person can have green eyes and another blue eyes. In the beginning of treatment most of the people do not know the others and suffer much time loss. Most MPD people do not really hear voices, that comes with treatment. It takes a long time to learn how to live with MPD,a lot do not make it.
Now, with other mental health problems it is a fine line when it comes to hearing voices and metaphysical. When hearing voices it is very healing when the client learns what part is metaphysics and what is mental health. I live in a county that is willing to look at the whole person/s.


Love and Light,
