The earth can appear to be many things to many people, but there is only one truth. I am hoping someday that the truth about DID is uniform and correct so that more people can be diagnosed and cured. It's far too confusing hopping from doctor to doctor, each with different belief systems. I know, I've done it...not only with psyh things but with doctors who did or did not believe in Fibromyalgia. back in the day, diabetes was in several different schools of thought and many people died because of it. Now we have the truth.

I'm all for beauty in diversity unless it causes harm. In med/psych issues, it can do just that. We need to work on finding the one correct truth.

there is uniform diagnostics for diagnosing DID you can find the world wide criteria for diagnosing DID in a book called the DSM IV TR.
