Is There A Chance Of Having Multiple Personality Disorders Simultaneously?

Dear Doctor,Can one suffer from multiple personality disorders simultaneously? In the past couple months, I have come to think that I have ADHD, anti-social personality disorder, narcissism, depression, and possibly a bipolar personality disorder. Trust me, I am not one of those hypochondriac people who're always trying to find what's wrong with them. On the contrary, until 2 or 3 years ago, I thought there was absolutely or almost nothing wrong with me. You will probably advise that I seek psychiatric help (and I couldn't agree more), but the problem is that two or three doctors I've seen so far believe that, apart from depression, I am essentially all right (just because I don't hear voices :)Thank you,Helen

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I suggest you trust those two three doctors. They are trained to diagnose mental issues and all three cannot be wrong. You are not hypochondriac, agree, but you could be anxious and obsessive. The symptoms presenting itself made you to think about it over and over again and it became obsessive. Obsession leads to anxiety and anxiety brings on the symptoms again.

You need counseling and psychotherapy. I shall provide you with the required counseling and psychotherapy techniques online, to overcome these problems. Please describe the whole problem in detail and post a direct question to me.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. For your knowledge, Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) is altogether is a different psychiatric disease in which two or more people (mental people) exist within a human being. In your case you should trust your doctors, who are trained for diagnosing mental and physical diseases. If you donot trust your current doctors, find a doctor whom you can trust fully and work with him In my suggestion, your problem is your own negative thinking.
