One day, Kate - the white girl - scolded even those who considered her a woman. Kate confirmed that she was a black boy and publicly pursued a co-worker.

Kate is a 100% girl. Both parents, family and those who knew her affirmed. She even had a boyfriend for over a year. Yet one day, Kate insisted on anyone calling and treating her as a woman. She claimed to be a black boy and pursued a girl to do.

At first, people thought Kate was gay, but long ago they understood that it was not so, because she did not use any kind of women's attire and insisted on not accepting her . having a prayer month.

Suddenly one morning, John came to the bank, sat at Mark's desk - the fund manager, turned the books, the computer came out and worked as a real fund manager. Everyone was surprised, frustrated and finally agreed to bring John to a review for his violation of labor discipline.

Instead of repenting, apologizing, John firmly denies his mistake and mocks people that why they forget that he is a fund manager. Nearly the next month, the man returned to the old, good and gentle John.

Every year in the US, the number of people who manifest as John or Kate is up to several tens of thousands. They have very similar characteristics such as: suffer from physical and psychological disorders. When it comes to certain roles , they have a unique personality, unlike the inherent personality or other roles they have entered. After " returning ", they did not remember what happened to him during the " haunted " time.

Initially, many researchers believe that these people have psychological disorders or past mental illnesses, or suffer from strong psychological injuries. But the test results are not correct. Some people believe that they have temporary memory loss, but are not convinced either. Even the idea that they have paranoia is also rejected.

Scientists think that people like John and Kate are not haunted by the same folk as they actually have Multi Personality Disorder (MPD), the disease is Pierre Janet, a doctor French, first described in the 19th century.

According to Janet, a person is considered to have MPD if there are 4 symptoms:

- There are two or more states of personality that dominate people.

- The personality must be completely separate, relatively stable in awareness, family and social relations, the ability to describe the world around.

- When being controlled by one person, the patient has the ability to forget important information regarding other potential personalities, to the extent that it cannot be considered a common forgetfulness.

- These disorders are not caused by drugs or chemicals.

But it wasn't until 1957 that the public became aware of the disease thanks to the film Eva's Three Faces . The film is based on a completely true story, telling a wife who is very ' bewildered ' in a relationship that suddenly becomes very charming but does not remember anything about her previous personality. . She was diagnosed with MPD by doctors.

According to medical experts, patients with MPD suffer from complicated psychological developments. They were controlled and controlled by two or more people, even with 37 different personalities at the same time. Particularly there are people who are torn at the same time by two completely opposite personalities. According to a statistic of the American Psychiatric Association, up to 1% of the US population has MPD expression and about 20% of patients under treatment are in fact MPD.

Scientists believe that people from birth brought in many different ' personality seeds ', like carrying many seeds. Seeds that are suitable for the body, living conditions and education will develop into human personality. At that time, they ' forgot ' other poor or undeveloped personalities.

Although there is such a ' natural selection ' process , the other germs are not completely lost but hidden somewhere in the subconscious. Under a certain agent, the other characters rise, control and bring people into MPD.

Treatment

Initially, patients were treated with psychotherapy but most did not respond well. Relaxation, physical therapy . and psychiatric medications are also not effective. Some doctors also use hypnosis to pull patients out of chaos but fail.

Some scientists offer a unique treatment: For patients to face their personalities. In an experiment, they let John live with Mark and his wife and children, working with Mark in a room and doing Mark's work together. As a result, after a while facing Mark, John began to doubt his own existence, gradually becoming confused and returning to John's personality.

Doctors believe that the reason the patient responds well to this treatment is because there is only one developing personality in each person. This personality is fostered and trained so it becomes sustainable, strong and separate. The germs of other personality are weak and weak, so if they are confused, they can only control the sick for a short time.

Although the cause of the disease, the pathogenesis is only hypotheses, scientists have proved that, if there is a healthy lifestyle, a strong personality, ' personality ', know more Obtaining information in a smart and alert manner, you can protect yourself from multiple personality disorders.
