Actually, The United States of Tara was pretty good. I don't know that much about actual DID and she had like several personalities, so I can't say exactly how accurate that part of it was. But as for someone living with a mental illness, it showed her as a human being who didn't want to be on meds that made her into a zombie. The show begins after she's gone off of the meds, and her personalities are resurfacing.

It shows things like how her sister thinks she's just "acting" like playing pretend. How she responds to stress and her parents and kids and husband. How the illness is there, but she doesn't want to be the illness. She's an artist and has started her own business, and stress relating to that. How other peopel "find out' and react to her, and her journey to find out what caused her to become who she is, etc.

It was on for several seasons and is now available on Netflix. I watched the whole thing there. I thought it was really good and portrayed her in a very positive light and as a human, not as some crazy nut job.
