Indigo's Journey: Understanding MPDFrom an Integrated Survivor's View |
|||
Greetings!My name is Indigo. I am an abuse survivor. The abuse I sustained caused me to develop Multiple Personality Disorder. Thanks to many years of counselling, I am recovered from MPD. This site tells my story of injury and recovery.

So... What exactly is MPD?Glad you asked! Multiple personality disorder is a rare mental illness in which the subject (victim) has two or more distinct personalities. In recent years, this illness has been renamed Dissociative Identity Disorder. Regardless of the clinical name attached, it is important to understand that this illness has been terribly misrepresented by popular cultural and media outlets. Rather then being crazed lunatics, people with MPD are generally moral, solid citizens that simply have been hurt very badly over a very long period of time. It is my hope to explain both the injury process and the healing process as it pertains to Multiple Personality Disorder.
