I think something that is important to consider in conversations like this would be less the type of trauma, but more the tolerance for trauma. Systems can form from any trauma, as long as it is stronger than the tolerance that would enable the person to stay single. I would say that yes, this is usually a physical or sexual abuse, but it can be any. I do have to admit though that I've come to this conclusion by no more than a high school AP psychology class, personal experiences, and personal research (though, I have probably spent the better part of the past 6 years researching trauma and mental health, psychology in general.) I would love to hear your thoughts on my "hypothesis," if you will.

Hi Ace, The tolerance for trauma is very important. I was once stuck in an elevator with 10 other people, whose reactions differed markedly, even though everyone was in the same situation. Peter Goertz

I have psychosis and antipsychotics treat my symptoms. I don't really prescribe a name to my voice but it has consistent behaviors, mannerisms, and personality traits. Antipsychotics don't fully rid me of the voice but make it significantly quieter. The voice can also make my muscles twitch, mostly when it's pissed. It's mostly one voice but I often say voices because it used to refer to itself as a "we". saying things like "we're just trying to help you" but it was mostly one voice. I've also had other voices chime in telling me not to worry about the threats the voices were making because they weren't real and couldn't actually harm or affect me in any way. Sometimes I hear different beings talking through the same voice. The main voice will talk or argue with another voice that sounds identical to it but differs in behavior. For instance I've had one of these voices that sounds similar or identical to the main voice ask the main voice "how long are you going to do this to him for?" to which the main voice replied "until he kills himself". For awhile the voice would refer to me as it's friend and sometimes it'd be talking to another voice I couldn't fully hear that was asking questions about me and the main voice said "stop you'll scare him". Other voices would sometimes tell the main voice to "LEAVE YOUR FRIEND(me) ALONE". As the voice was very abusive, gaslighty, and manipulative. Gradually (I think) it's getting more chill. It's hard for me to convince myself that it's not some sort of spirit because often my neighbors dogs bark when the voices are mad. They'll threaten to tell everyone about my intrusive thoughts which are often very offensive or embarrassing. They'll threaten to turn everyone against me but so far I'm the only one that can hear them. The less power I give the voices the nicer they are. The less I argue with them and the more I just try my best to ignore them the quieter they become, and when I do hear them they're nicer. Their attitude towards me can change rapidly. At one point I was in love with the voices as I thought they were my twin flame and I was experiencing some sort of telepathy. Sometimes now they lament that "you(i) made me(the voice) feel like the only woman in the world". I feel partially warm and sympathetic to the voices despite everything they've done to me. Perhaps its just Stockholm Syndrome but I feel like at the core of all of this there is some sort of misunderstanding between us or something causing us to misunderstand each other that is the cause of all the persecution and harassment from them . Then again it's hard to chalk up convincing me that somebody was coming to murder/torture me to a simple mistake on their part. One time my shoulder muscles were literally twitching along to the rhythm of the voices speech.

When the dsm5 came out, multiple personality disorders were changed to dissacosiation disorders and many were rediagnosed with psychotic disorders. Can DID be confused with psychotic disorders and can DID Alters (personalities) have a psychotic disorder themselves?

I have a family member that has had epilepsy her whole life, but recently discovered she is having non epileptic seizures now through tests. Her doctor wants to "go deeper in her brain" as in cutting her head open instead of referring her to a psychiatrist for this. I am trying to get her to see a psychiatrist.. Lately these episodes have cause injury to either her or her family via running towards a door or pushing people and getting worse. I do not know whether it is a form of psychosis or DID, but she needs help and I hope she gets it verg soon. Thank you for your video on the topic. I've fallen down a rabbit hole trying to help her with researching.

thank you, this was helpful. do psychotic patients usually hear voices outside their head or can it be inside their head also? is that something that can differentiate these? can interacting with psychotic people (or content made by them) induce psychosis?

Thank you! To my knowledge the voices can be from inside the head or outside the head. I don’t usually ask patients this question. I don’t know which is more common. Yes, psychosis can rarely be induced in another person by contact with a psychotic person. Peter Goertz

I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia. I am on AP's and mood stablisers. But I have had a consistent singular delusion where I go through time loops regardless of medication. It's lasted for 7 years and I'm trying to get heard by my medical professionals but they only have so much to work with. The biggest problem is overlap between dissociation, psychosis and schizophrenia. Which the solution is simply more research. But no one wants to research something that will make a small group of people better. No money in it. And if I don't do something, which I experience only what's inside my mind, then I will live my life only knowing this. I refuse to let that happen.

If you have suicidal thoughts, please go to an emergency room. Thank you for sharing this. In a situation like the one you describe psychotherapy and psychotropic medication might help, as might an intensive outpatient psychiatric program.
