Please keep in mind that this is nothing more that speculation from a flawed perspective.

I think that integration could lessen any other non-genetic mental disorder. I think that (in my case) 8+ minds working together on one stressful issue would make rational decisions and problem solve well. However, if it is just one of the minds (Alex-Borderline Personality Disorder) dealing with stress, she could resort to SIing, smoking, drinking, self-destructing, because she deals with things in that way. I think that if we ever integrate, we as one could have slight BPD tendencies, but the diagnosis Alex has would be removed. (Once again, just presumptions, speculations, and assumptions....)

I have no definitive answer.... I don't think that anyone actually ever could... I don't think you'll know until it happens...
