I don't think that's true, HexHammer. It's certainly not the only place where single personality disorder exists.

There are in fact several minds inhabiting one body.

There are twins born having one body but two heads, each an individual, so the question is folly.

According to my wife, two bodies can occupy one ... but I didn't ask her to go into detail. 🤔 As for multiple identity disorder, or DID. Cases usually arise from extreme abuse, so when someone said about it being mainly found in America, which I'm not sure I agree with, there could be a cultural influence as well.

These days it is called dissociative identity disorder and it's in England, Australia, Korea...for example. I am sure it is in other countries as well, the diagnosis that is.

It is not a disorder. Some people are just different.

I can go along with this to a degree, but since generally these people are suffering a lot after being radically abused, we have the aftereffects of interperosnal trauma. We should not think of these people as sick. They had a natural reaction to systematic and extreme abuse. So, it's, yes, not really a disorder. But they are not 'just different' and can benefit from help. Their body/mind/souls radical reaction to their abuse, however natural, causes them a lot of problems later in life. It's a bit like saying someone who limps and has a bleeding sore on their knee is just different. In this case the trauma is mental. But they should not be looked at as weirdos. It's not a condition, it's a reaction. And generally they feel better as they unlearn their natural reaction to trauma.

I'm glad you were not abused. So, are you saying you have what mistakenly gets called a disorder, DID?

Yes, I am saying that it is not a disorder. Some people just have spiritual experiences.
