Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Multiple Personality Disorder-Dominick Scialabba

In this article I learned about Dissociative Identity Disorder or Multiple Personality Disorder. In this article it talked about how MPD may be a result of being around someone with the disorder and seeing them or experiencing with them a traumatic experience. Secondly the article talked about if the disease was real or not. It is. The article also talked about some of the symptoms that range from depression to eating disorders. Now to the central point of the article. I think the central point of the article would be the symptoms. After the first page the article goes on and on about all the different symptoms. On the first page it also stated that although there are numerous symptoms it is very hard to tell that someone has MPD. It is even hard for highly trained professionals to diagnose the disease. This is why I think symptoms are the central point of the story.My reaction to this article was very subtle to say the least. Although I did learn new information I did not have a dramatic reaction. This article has changed the way I look at this story now. I wonder if the story will start off with a traumatic experience since the article stated the disease is caused by traumatic experience or being around someone with the disease. Which brings me to another possibility. Maybe the story will start off by having the main character being around a friend or a family member that has MPD. That is my reaction to the story.
