"Many multiples or people 'diagnosed' as 'suffering' from Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), or Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) have decided to change the way they are viewed, treated and labled. We no longer accept being discouraged, even inhibited, from being the people we are, hiding who we are out of fear.
