Suggest treatment for multiple personality disorder
human
Hi, I am afraid my boyfriend suffers from multiple personalities, or he might be faking it. We have been together nearly two years, and I have witnessed basically two different people when I am with him. He even has named the other person . The two people are complete opposites. One is loving and cares; while the other is rude and disrespectful. We have been fighting a great deal over this subject, and when I bring up some of the things one person said or did, the other person seems to be utterly clueless. I don t know how much more i can take before I loose my cool. The change can take only a few seconds but last hours to even days. Then suddenly, the switch back happens. I am confused on what I can do to help him, or if he is just faking it and using it as an excuse for when he is rude. Please help.

Oh you are in such a helpless situation. There is nothing like multiple personality disorder.But yes there are many stories or movies regarding the same. From your narration I can say there are two possibilities. One is called dissociative order in which there are dissociative  trans, dissociative fugue which contains the symptoms you described of change in personality. Second possibility is he is doing this on his own with full awareness.Both situation difficult to diagnose in one seating. I should tell you that you must take him to psychiatrist for consultation and detail evaluation.If really he has some problem , it can be treated and if he is faking, there should be some reason behind that also about which  you need to deal sympathetically without anger to know the truth in detail.
