Sometimes texts are burned out of fear of enraging the populous.

Mental illness affects many people throughout the world. Most of the time, many of the people diagnosed with the illness do not seek treatment because they are unaware that they have been diagnosed with the illness.

“The Raven” and “Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde” Comparative essay Delusional: When a person is disconnected from reality. It can be caused by many conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or even sometimes mental disorders aren’t always necessarily preexisting and can even be caused by certain medicines being mixed with each other. Whatever the case mental disorders should be recognised and treated instead of stigmatized (as in a lot of cases). Most mental disorders when treated are manageable, but when left untreated can manifest in other ways. In both stories the untreated mental problems manifested in hallucinations(poes case) and violence(Hyde’s).
Consequently, it is very difficult to correctly diagnose an individual with D.I.D. (D.I.D. Research). D.I.D. must be distinguished from or determined if comorbid with a variety of disorders (Dissociative Identity Disorder). Symptoms of D.I.D. could be mistaken for mood disorders such as bipolar disorders or major depressive disorder (D.I.D. Research). Other misdiagnoses include personality disorders such as borderline personality disorder and psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia (Dissociative Identity Disorder). D.I.D. may also be mistaken for other dissociative disorders such as dissociative amnesia (D.I.D.
Overall, capgras delusion is a very serious psychological disorder that can range from acute or a very serious chronic case. Even though capgras is proven to be helped with antipsychotic drugs or therapy, it is still difficult to completely understand the human brain and the affect it can have on people.

The controversies around Dissociative identify disorder is the socio-cognitive etiology model. The textbook describes this model as individuals learn to act out various social roles by being exposed to media reports regarding DID, therapist’s suggestions, and other cultural influences (Kring et al., 2014, pg. 232). I believe that this model plays role in people developing DID. The reason that I think that is because the text say this is just one of the ways, it does not say it is the only way. I can understand how a person can develop DID after being expose to DID.
Dissociative Identity Disorder, or better known as Multiple Personality disorder, is an extreme kind of dissociation where the affected individual creates distinct and different personalities in response to severe trauma or violently stressful situations. They remove themselves from any behaviors, memories, feelings and/or actions that would identify with the main personality, from the person that experienced the events. Each identity has its own name, gender, manner of speech and behavior as well as its own personal history. Causes Dissociation occurs due to an individual’s attempt at coping with a difficult situation, usually trauma. It is more commonly seen among young children whose sense of personality is still impressionable and can
Consciousness was first defined by John Locke as “the perception of what passes in a man’s own mind”. This statement has since influenced research into the nature of consciousness using different approaches in attempt to further understand consciousness (i.e., dreams, hallucinations..). Hallucinations is a phenomenon that has fascinated the scientific community for decades. Defining and explaining hallucinations has been problematic; often causing confusion differentiating it between other perceptual phenomenons such as illusions; which is a misperception. This means that an individual perceives something (that already exists) as something else; therefore an external stimulus is present.
Dissociative Identity Disorder is usually diagnosed as another disease because patients usually receive help for memory loss, lack of sense identity, depersonalization, depression, mood swings, difficulty concentrating, alcohol or drug abuse, temper outbursts, psychotic, headaches, unexplained pains which are classic symptoms for a number of other diseases. Though there are many symptoms displayed by individuals with Dissociative Identity Disorder the most common symptoms are amnesia and displays of multiple personalities. In cases of amnesia, patients may black out for extended periods of time and awake with no recollection of what they did during that time period. Symptoms often appear at random and can last for long or short intervals. The staple symptom of Dissociative Identity Disorder; however, is displaying multiple separate identities.
With time all three theories and therapies have received considerable criticism and have been modified by many. Some have suggested that unlike Frauds’ belief, the “manifest content” is nothing but the representation of the dreamers waking life (Fosshage, 1983, 1987; Garma, 1987; Glucksman, 1988; Glucksman and Warner, 1987; Lippman, 2000; Natterson, 1980, 1993; Schwartz, 1990). Others have simply expanded on Jung’s and Adler’s theories along with providing set parameters for its use in therapy ((Beebe, 1993; Bonime, 1987; Bosnak, 1988; Johnson, 1986; Bird, 2005; Lombardi and Elcock,
