Please use this post for discussion of those contentious, murky, triggering issues too complex to discuss/moderate on the main post.

Note that this post is NOT a free-for-all and will still be modded for slurs, namecalling, doxxing and trolling. But fair warning that it will not be moderated for discussion of issues some find triggering (trans issues, mental illness, etc.) and that if you choose to participate here, you do so at your own risk.

Like most of the other things he's claimed to have, he hasn't done his homework. If he had he would not only know that MPD/DID is a pathology so rare as to be practically mythical, but that the Sybil case (arguably one of the two most famous) has been exposed as a case of massively unethical, sodium pentothal fuelled gaslighting. It's kind of fitting, in a way.

I think it's entirely possible that he does know exactly this. But it's easier to fool people who don't know it about things related to mental health and the way the mind works in general. I think a lot of these outrageous lies and seemingly ludicrous, transparent confabulations are done with a purpose. Andy doesn't want to waste his time filtering through people who might be immediately skeptical about his claims.
