Remember reading the book Sybil (or see Sally Field in the movie) years ago. Here’s an update - yes, there was ‘fake’ news back then too.

‘Sybil’ 50 Years Later

The “true story” of a woman with multiple personalities was a 1973 sensation and is still in print 50 years later. Why do such lurid tales hold their grip?

The New York Times

TITLE: DiD, Vestibular Balance Issues, Brainscans, and Neurology

I'm a mental health clinician looking for resources and research papers
on the intersection of #DiD ( #Dissociative Identity Disorder),
#vestibular anomalies, and #neurology .  I am familiar with most of the
counseling theory around DiD -- but what does it look like from a
#brainscan ( #CTscan #MRI ) point of view?  Do the #subpersonalities 
exhibit different brain activity when activated?

So say that a patient with DiD ( #MultiplePersonality ) was undergoing
treatment for vestibular balance disorders and switching some between
alters as the exercises were done.  Is anything known on what this
medically would look like in the brain?  How a neurologist would be
likely to view the behaviors witnessed?
