Dissociative Disorders
Dissociative disorders such as Dissociative Identity Disorder (multiple personality disorder) usually result from trauma or abuse in early childhood. A controversial disorder in some circles, the evidence is mounting that this is a legitimate diagnosis.
About.com also has very good information on depression and PTSD once you start learning how to follow the links.

About Me
- Kay L. Schlagel
- I was only 22 at the time I wrote this book. It took alot of time and healing to finally publish it. I wasn't cured. Unfortunately it's never quite that simple in the real world. It definitely changed my life for the better and set me on a path of self-discovery. Alot has changed since then with finding more alters,with more memories..etc. They are all amazing and they are all uniquely a part of me. Some painted self-portraits of themselves. It really was and is the journey that makes the goal worthwhile. I write children's fiction and am working on my 7TH book. I freelance self-help articles on health topics and have sold and won a few awards for my poetry. I'm a moderator at publisher database forums for writers who wish to become professional writers. I'm a professional artist. I am proficient in oils,acrylics, and some digital painting programs. I can honestly say at the age of 46 I am the most content and happy with my life than I have ever been. I'm always anxious to see what lies around the next corner.
