In the film Hide and Seek, Robert De Niro has a secret but you don't find out until the end of the story. He has Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) or multiple personality disorder. Here are a few symptoms of DID, depression, memory loss, eating disorders, and even amnesia. It's interesting how one person who seems completely normal, can all of the sudden wake up and be somebody else. How their whole demeanor changes in a split second. Some people don't even realize they have something wrong with them. Usually it is a friend, family member, or someone close to them, that notices something it out of sorts. I just read The Strange Cases of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and the symptoms are happening here. Jekyll goes into a depression and doesn’t want to see anybody, no housekeepers or friends. I would like to find out more about this topic to see how people are able to switch from one person to another and how they cope if they find out about their disorder. Honestly, it’s fun to watch and read about but I couldn't imagine living it. Never knowing who I am going to be that day or what I am going to do next is a scary thought. You never know if the person sitting next to you is your friend or your enemy.
