I read that article on DID yesterday by some idiot from the University of South Florida claiming that MPD/DID or any dissociative disorder is not a real mental illness and is simply the patient faking.

I have a book on sleep talking by Dr. Arthur Arkin which proves that these people are lying and trying to cover something up. I am positive, that if I can get a law firm to research all the books that the National Library has on hypnosis, I could prove this beyond doubt. I could tear them up in a court of law. So far the medical malpractice attorneys that I have written are not doing anything. I have told them if they cannot make enough money suing individual mental health professionals then they should sue the State agencies that license these people, the drug companies (psychotropic drugs work mostly off the placebo effect so charging a patient for those drugs is fraud), the professional organizations, the Federal agencies involved in mind control studies and very likely some other agency or group once they research the mental health system.

I have been fighting these crooks since 1989.

My partner has DID, it's quite obvious to me that he is not faking. It is a real illness, and there are people who suffer from it.

Unfortunately DID can be an illness that many self-diagnose with, when in reality their issues are something completely different. These unfortunate self-diagnoses may give the impression that DID is not real, when the reality is that it DOES exist.

If I allowed the mental health professionals unlimited weekly fees, they would drag any diagnosis out until they are retirement age. They are not regulated at all. I have two engineering degrees. I am not going to accept disrespect from them any longer.

I think it is great that you have 2 degrees, but surely you would agree that every person with DID deserves respect, regardless of education level?

Yes, I am not implying otherwise. Anyone who is paying for a service or treatment of any kind should have the right under law to question the competence of the person providing the service or treatment.

But I have been totally disrespected by first the mental health system and then the legal system. I am not bragging and college statistics will bear this out, but most mental health professionals and most lawyers would not have maintained grade point average to get into grad school if they had taken an engineering undergraduate degree. I am not saying that I am smarter but only that they are not.
