There is no possession whatsoever in individuals with DID. But there are many folks who are not aware of the DID phenomena and might equate "switching" to something more than it is.

It's very sad that in this day and age so many people still have little understanding of such things. But, people are learning slowly. Example - ME! I knew of DID and what causes it to happen but I never really understood much about it until I became a PC member.

I think if we can have some patience and work to educate, more and more folks will learn and be less critical. At least, that is my hope and prayer. And I pray this not only for those with DID, but with all mental/emotional/personality illnesses as well. (I hate using the word illness, because I don't think it necessarily applies)
