thats the greatest thing about self diagnosis, any number can play!!!! MPD (multiple personality disorder) doesnt really exist. in the 1st case recorded in the 1950s, the therapist is the one that named the alters to better define them. when 1st recorded cases typically presented alters in the single digits. as more and more media was released with characters with more alters was depicted, the number of alters reported by patients also increased with reported alters slightly outnumbering those depicted in media. and the trend continues even today. what MPD really is is someone with DID thats particularly suggestive and seeking attention and validation. in reality MPD is a scam perpetrated by greedy and needy therapists and patients both seeking notoriety and sympathy.
mental health issues is part of the human condition that EVERYONE deals with at some point in their life, be it the mental health equivalent of a temporary bad cold or flu (ie depression related to such things as the loss of a loved one, significant other, or desired job, and the like) or some more serious and biological based like schizophrenia, or cyclic major depression. unfortunately amongst normal people, theres a stigma attached to mental health issues that can cause a person in real need to avoid seeking mental health treatments. i suppose one positive outcome of this disorder shopping is that it could normalize mental health issues and remove the stigma of genuine suffering mental health issues and spur people truly in need to seek help. my fear is that unscrupulous "therapists" will prey upon those pretending to have issues for profit as some supposed medical professionals do with trans people. there are some good therapists that can really help people, and theres plenty of crackpost out there willing to exploit others suffering.
for instance take rorschach inkblot testing. it was used for decades by therapists that swore by it. but not so very long ago when comprehensive studies were done on it, it was found to have zero diagnostic or treatment efficacy. and take frontal lobotomies for instance that were all the rage from the 1930s to the 1970s thats now considered a era of shame for the mental health community.
