Actress and Activist AnnaLynne McCord Dissociative Identity Disorder Diagnosis (Part 1)

[@courtneychristofferson100]

This is a great demonstration of the impact of sexual abuse. For the perpetrator, it's over in an instant. For the victim, it alters their physiology. Without treatment it's effects can be a death sentence. In some ways I believe rape/sexual assault should be legally tried at the same level as murder.

I think that’s because it’s not really got any scientific basis. The repressed memories “fad” (for lack of a better term) of the 80’s and 90’s was largely discredited.

Super weird comment.

[@coreyoz]

Bob I see zero problem with this statement. Often times us regular people project false ideals upon the wealthy or the beautiful and invalidate their problems. You hear it all the time - oooh poor so and so actress with her problems, all she has to do is look in the mirror and realize she's good looking or check her bank account (or worse - take her bank account to a plastic surgeon). "Poor woman." That is us common people showing our insecurity and lack of empathy to other human beings to whom we secretly envy. Those people have problems too. Both regular people problems as well as problems projected from others who criticize their looks or wealth, especially ones in the public eye. It's all over social media. There's this woman named Claire Abbot - look her up - that was featured on the cover of some twitter magazine featuring beautiful people. Half the comments were nasty and talked about how fake her boobs were when in fact, they aren't and all they had to do was a bit of internet research to find that they were real. Imagine Claire Abbot reading that. She did nothing wrong but everyone is attacking her for simply existing. That can cause a major self esteem problem unique to someone with remarkable beauty. It's a relief when we see someone that you might not expect to relate to, to totally relate to. She's flawed, not flawless. It's great she embraces that.

This is not how Dissociative Identity Disorder (the nomenclature was changed in the DSM to better reflect the child's reaction to trauma) is. It is NOT "disassociate." You dissociate. For DID to occur, it involves repeated, severe trauma over time and usually it starts before the age of 5. It can be a combination of sexual, physical, emotional, psychological and mental abuse and/or torture. Alters do not spontaneously decide to "integrate" and go away. It takes a lot of psychotherapy along with other modalities to uncover the traumatic memories, alleviate the amnestic barriers and process the trauma and the emotions surrounding them before and if integration is the goal. If she doesn't remember anything happening before the age of 5, she has a lot to uncover. She stated that her family of origin was highly religious. I wouldn't be surprised if there were alters who were religious, etc. Let's get one thing straight. DID IS NOT ACTING. Switching between alters is usually in response to high anxiety or being triggered. I won't write more but suffice it to say that a SPECT scan isn't going to help her uncover the traumas that she suffered, nor will it help her heal.

[@earthariss]

Very well spoken! However, each system is different and will split differently/integrate (fuse) differently! Sometimes fusion can happen, and it is very not planned! (Ex: the brain deciding that one alter isn't needed anymore like they were in the beginning, or feel that the two existing alters will cope better together than apart) I very much liked how she herself was using the right lingo (makes my lil DID heart happy) and was very open to talking about it, which is extremely hard. (One last note, once you develop DID/OSDD, anything can be a trigger to split. So her roles splitting into alters makes a ton of sense! For quick example, I have to be very careful about what shows I get into sometimes and how hard I fall for any game, show, anything, because I could split from it. And I know lots of other systems experience this as well) Again, loved what you said btw! Hope you have a lovely day :)

DID is different. It's an extreme condition.

[@11liamk1]

She looks like Charlize Theron.. Even sounds like her too a bit

[@drouinjohnny9036]

I close my eyes and yes...same voice and look....💗

[@karikari7336]

I’ve been told I look like her but I don’t see it ... I wish

[@moiraohara]

Only the voice a little bit

[@rhianhegarty3383]

She actually reminded me of a young Kylie Minogue '88 era.

[@moiraohara]

@@rhianhegarty3383 michelle pfeiffer like someone comment...that’s what she reminds me

You can tell he's a great doctor. A holistic approach to medicine.

[@briza2022]

It is like hunging on somebody else personality to feel safe.

[@Maria.freeman]

Great video, but please do something with sound

[@nat-iy8np]

He should not say “the brighter you are, the more you split” ...

[@earthariss]

Agreed. She honestly is sounding like she knows more than him. Good for her!

[@Ooooouccchhh]

These are so good

[@Lulsz4]

Great actress very beautiful I didn't watch 90210 but I saw her in nip tuck my favourite American show ever.

I have been following Dr Amen for several years-his work is incredible. Love!

[@scarred10]

Its incredible alright,incredible anyone would be so dumb as to believe it.

[@GiovanniRuedaMarketing]

I love it 😍, because she got closer

[@katyaoleynik]

It’s called DID and this is completely inappropriate...

[@NR-lc8we]

Did you watch the video

[@Outrageous86]

But for the people who were diagnosed decades ago. It was called MPD. Now it’s more understood and has the name DID.

[@katyaoleynik]

@@NR-lc8we Yeah, I did. That’s the problem. Diagnosing DID is completely inappropriate.

[@katyaoleynik]

@@Outrageous86 And...? This is a new video. Nobody should be calling it MPD.

[@earthariss]

@@katyaoleynik How is giving someone a diagnosis that someone is suffering from 'inappropriate'? Curious to hear your thoughts :)

[@meganpearl914]

She’s my hero

[@haveagoodday5737]

It hasn't been called that since 1993. It's Dissociative Identity Disorder.

[@nikolinarusev4279]

I just love this whole video . She is brave and Dr. AMEN is absolutely brilliant

[@jhors7777]

Brave woman, best wishes to you.

[@icarreno1983]

Where can we find her treatment plan

[@NadiaVenice]

why does the audio sound like that

[@AdrienneZazulak]

How do I get a scan like this in Toronto?

[@AdrienneZazulak]

(I can't afford to travel, and I don't think it's a good idea now, but even down the road, it would be very expensive)

[@Dxzz656]

Courage is so attractive. This is my definition of a real woman. I Love her. Other girls should take note. Hiding medical issues is cowardly and not attractive. Your amazing AnnaLynne.

[@hijislay3618]

Wtf

[@Dxzz656]

@@hijislay3618 every cellular and molecular biologist in the world knows we have a problem with brain health/ brain diseases. That means people are hiding symptoms for fear of embarrassment. People rarely speak out like she is doing. That takes courage!

[@melpm72]

I need this scan too..

[@saraholivo2860]

is my guy taking clinical notes on powerpoint?

[@imfittted4829]

I though he was working on a presentation lol

[@dewilew2137]

He’s totally working on something else lol

[@josefine635]

Yeah he is definitely working on a presentation/something else 😂

[@jilliangould5716]

He is taking notes/filling out forms he has made. If you go to 9:12, you can see some of the notes in detail that he has taken.

[@Brainjoy01]

Sometimes your staff do the first interview and create a PowerPoint or excel sheet/Google doc where everyone can edit it, including the main doc
