if you do your research on the tv show and interviews that the cast and producers did on the show they admit that this show is supposed to be funny and make fun of/ over dramatize the mental disorder and is not meant to be taken in the literal sense. many of the situations they added to the show do not happen with DID and with DID the situations that they portray are extreme characterizations of what people used to believe DID was. for example people with DID dont go around making passes as their children and their neighbors. people with DID do not go around messing up other peoples homes, people with DID do not believe their family, friends and neighbors are out to get them, hallucinate, and other psychotic/ schizophrenic\ conduct / behavioral problems. and the switching with DID is not so noticable, most people do not even realize their friends, family and strangers around them have DID and are switching.

loosen up sorry but everyone is entitled to have their own opinions. my opinions come from having a past diagnosis of DID (all my alters are now integrated) I found nothing funny about how my alters were and I dont appreciate this tv series making DID out to be some thing it isnt and causing those I work with all kinds of anxiety and trauma just because the producers wanted to make a tv show depicting a mental disorder in a comedy/ mockery way. sure their intention was to bring awareness of mental illness but my opinion is they went about it in the wrong way.

Im not saying others cant like the show or watch it. just saying my own opinion of the show and that I will never watch it again.
Thanks for this!
