Split Personality:

 Multiple personality disorder, a neurosis in which the personality becomes dissociated into two or more distinct parts each of which becomes dominant and controls behavior from time to time to the exclusion of the other parts. [source]

Dissociative identity disorder (previously known as multiple personality disorder) is a fairly common effect of severe trauma during early childhood, usually extreme, repetitive physical, sexual, and/or emotional abuse. People suffering from such disorders indulge in daydreaming or get lost in the moment while working on a project. It is a severe form of dissociation, a mental process, which produces a lack of connection in a person's thoughts, memories, feelings, actions, or sense of identity. Dissociative identity disorder is thought to stem from trauma experienced by the person with the disorder. The dissociative aspect is thought to be a coping mechanism -- the person literally dissociates himself from a situation or experience that's too violent, traumatic, or painful to assimilate with his conscious self. [source]

Along with the dissociation and multiple or split personalities, people with dissociative disorders may experience depression, mood swings, suicidal tendencies, sleep disorders, nightmares, panic attacks, sleep walking, deep seated fears, alcohol or drug addiction, auditory or visual hallucinations and even eating disorders. Other symptoms may include headache, amnesia, time loss, trances, and OBE (out-of-body-experiences). Some people with dissociative disorders have a tendency toward self-persecution, self-sabotage, and even violence (both self-inflicted and outwardly directed). As an example, someone with dissociative identity disorder may find themselves doing things they wouldn't normally do such as speeding, reckless driving, or stealing money from their employer or friend, yet they feel they are being compelled to do it. Some describe this feeling as being a passenger in their body rather than the driver. In other words, they truly believe they have no choice.

This 'condition/illness' had always fascinated me since the first time I got to study a little bit about it when I took Intro 2 Psychology.

Always curious at how the mind works for a person who has two personalities [actually always had so much interest with the brain part :p]

Anyways, I had just finished watching a Malay drama that was themed with this 'condition' and it was quite OK la for...not the lame theme over and over again but the storyline....well..a bit confusing and tangled.but....OK la. The title of this drama is 'Lakar' featuring pahrin ahmad and pasha sanda  [go google the synopsis if got any]

Skipping to the climax where pasha was drowned in the lake and she thought the adopted young bro was to be blame right after her hb pahrin saved her life but due to a 'touch hand on painting moment' she realizes that it was her hb that was responsible. So then the mother spilled the story out of how he first got the condition, the reasons and why the 'second him' did such thing.  [oh I forgot, his first wife died in the lake ]...The 'second him' hated women whom he generalizes as a home-wrecker  [when he was young his father left the family for another woman]. Later he tried to kill her again but she survived and he was arrested. The End

kembar google bagi,ayok!

I'm curious if he/she has that condition, how do the authorities press charges? because one part of the self doesn't recognize his evil twin so it wouldn't be fair for the 'kind one'? I recall an english movie that had this theme but forgot the title and the everything but it took years for the authority to learn that the person whom they sentenced to death wasn't guilty but the other part of him was so I forgot whether he died or was released  [lama sudahh].

A very interesting subject to be studied and discussed.

M.A in psychology perhaps? hehe...well....who knows what He has stored for me. Let's just hope I'd make the right choice later on =), Allahu musta'an
