DEAR DR. ROACH: What is dissociative identity disorder? There are a lot of movies and TV shows about it. — Anonymous
ANSWER: Most people will be more familiar with dissociative identity disorder’s former name: multiple personality disorder. DID is a complex psychiatric disorder that has been frequently mischaracterized in the media. The hallmarks of the disorder are memory problems and two or more distinct personality states, which are sometimes called “alters.” The different personalities are very seldom dramatically different from each other in the way the media frequently portrays.
People are also reading… The majority of people with DID have a history of abuse during childhood, especially sexual or physical abuse. But it can be some other type of severe trauma during childhood, usually before the age of 6. Depression, sometimes with suicidal behavior, is common in DID. However, the media portrayals of a person with DID as being violent are incorrect and unfair. People with DID are not more likely to be violent than anyone else.DEAR DR. ROACH: My problem is canker sores. I have had them occasionally in the past, but now I have one or two in my mouth constantly. This has been going on for the past year or more. I have seen my dentist, cardiologist, dermatologist and my family physician.
Many people note an association between canker sores and a common toothpaste ingredient called sodium lauryl sulfate. And if your toothpaste has that, stopping it in favor of an SLS-free toothpaste may dramatically help your symptoms. Lysine supplements are often advised but have poor data supporting their use. However, many of my readers have told me it’s effective for them.
