If your identity is hidden, your actions should be too. You want your life to be a secret, meaning your actions should not be heard by the public.
Is the Gainer phenomenon being studied as a potential eating disorder?
I've been wondering this for a while, and I think it should be studied as an eating disorder. As a Gainer myself, it is hard to NOT try to gain weight. I am good for a while, then I relapse. I never gained much weight, but if my metabolism was slow I would gain quite a lot of weight.

What is a person called with a split personality disorder?
Dissociative Identity Disorder, commonly known as split personality disorder is a psychiatric disorder in which the patients displays two or more distinct identities (like alter egos). Each identity is completely different to the other with their own habits and ways of interacting with the world. For DID to take place the personalities must both routinely take over the persons behaviour. The person will have no recollection of what happened whilst being controlled by the other personality nor will have knowledge of the existence of the other identity. Symptoms include: unexplainable headaches and body pains, depression, severe memory loss, flashbacks of abuse or trauma, unexplainable phobias, comorbidity (the presence of another disorder medical or psychological), sudden anger without cause. Patients with DID have often suffered severe childhood trauma or abuse.
What is similar between schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorder?
Although so-called schizophrenia is said to be a brain disease, while DID is acknowledged to be a psychological reaction to traumatic life events, so far no evidence has been found to support this distinction, and prove the brain disease hypothesis of schizophrenia to be true. In fact, newer research strongly indicates that both are caused by childhood trauma. Dissociation is not restricted to DID, but can be observed in schizophrenia as well. If a person is labelled with schizophrenia or DID depends on to which extent dissociation in relation to other trauma responses is predominant. If a fight, flight, or freeze response is predominant, the person will most likely be labelled with schizophrenia. If dissociation is the predominant feature she will probably be labelled with DID.
If you are a guy and think you are too hairy and not secure about your body hair but do have not had other symptoms do you have gender identity disorder?
No, you just are insecure about your body hair.
My friend has multiple personality disorder?
EXTREMELY doubtful. There is heavy debate in the scientific community if the disorder even exists. If it does, there are literally a handful of people who have been "documented cases". At any rate, one of the supposed key features of Multiple Personality Disorder (now called Dissociative Identity Disorder) is that the person is unaware that he/she has multiple personalities. Thus, if your friend is claimed that he/she has it, they are lying. If you, yourself came to this conclusion, like I said - DOUBTFUL.I disagree with the above poster, for starters there's debate in the "scientific community" whether just about any disorder really exists. If you've actually done your research, there's the possibility of them being unaware of the disorder. Worth noting, the Hollywood depiction of Dissociative Identity Disorder is a little bit a truth, mixed with a lot of ... well, Hollywood (not a good source for information really.) For starters, talk to them in depth about it, maybe you're the person they trust enough to come out with such a touchy subject (do they even have a reason to lie to you? also, why would they lie to you about this.) To the above poster (first bullet) please read the DSM page on it before jumping to conclusions, even if the DSM isn't perfect it's better than saying "there's debates going on, they must be lying." I think it would improve the quality of your posts.*Also, talk to them about whether they have the actual disorder/meet the critieria for Dissociative Identity disorder [ie, dissociation, amnesia, etc], or if they mean simply that they are a multiple. Either way they will need a friend and a listening ear. Multiplicity is natural and healthy, though it can be hard to understand for those who do not experience it [just as people are fond of saying that the nature of the Trinity is confusing, for instance, being three in one and one in three]. Dissociation is a disorder that brings with it loss of self, and may bring with it other baggage such as co-morbid disorders or past experiences.Here is one resource which can get you started: http://www.astraeasweb.net/plural/faq.html

I think everyone suffers in their own sense. Something that one person suffers from, another person might not think that they are "suffering", but in that persons eyes they are. So yes, everyone suffers at times.
