🧵 (1/3) Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) now known as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), is a complex mental health condition characterised by the presence of two or more distinct personality states, known as "alters." These alters can control a person's behaviour, thoughts, and memories at different times, leading to significant disruptions in identity. Key Features and Impact • Fragmented Identity: individuals with DID experience multiple identities, each with its own characteristics, memories, and perspectives, resulting in a fragmented sense of self. Note that schizophrenia too can also result in a fragmented identity. • Memory Gaps: People with DID often have significant gaps in memory, making it difficult to recall everyday events or personal information.

🧵 (1/2) [ Spoiler Alert ] Regarding yesterday's cast, Sydney Carton does not suffer from Multiple Personality Disorder (now known as Dissociative Identity Disorder, or DID) in A Tale of Two Cities. Instead, he is a self-destructive lawyer grappling with deep-seated feelings of inadequacy, self-loathing, and a sense of wasted potential. Carton turns to alcohol to numb his sense of purposelessness and failure. However, his unrequited love for Lucie Manette does becomes the catalyst for a profound transformation in his character.

🧵 (1/3) Before moving back to the book’s structure, I would like to take another little look again into characters across various cultural mythologies, literature, and media that may be exhibiting characteristics similar to multiple personalities disorder or dissociative identity disorder (DID) because as part of my reading for this thread I came across characters which I had either never heard of before or little knowledge of. AI tends to be focused but many of us human /cryptosapiens 🧠 are easily distracted. Greek Mythology Hera - Known for her nurturing side as the queen of the gods and her vengeful side against Zeus’s lovers and offspring. Dionysus - God of wine, exhibiting both ecstatic joy and destructive rage. Roman Mythology Janus - God of beginnings and transitions, depicted with two faces looking to the past and future, symbolizing dual nature. Shakespeare Edgar (Poor Tom) - from "King Lear," who adopts the persona of Poor Tom to disguise himself.

In episode 141 of Naruto, Sakura Haruno, a stereotypical shōnen character, starts her journey to become a proficient ninja with combat and medical skills. I initially thought that this was the episode where the character was first introduced to us, the viewers, but I believe the AI pointed to this episode because it marks a significant transformation in Sakura’s character arc. Sakura evolves from her initial portrayal as a shy, kind, gentle soul to a more self-assured and confident individual, reflecting her true inner identity. Naruto is a series with 720 episodes, I didn't manage to gain a full insight into Sakura’s character. In Professor Greenfield’s book, You & Me, the discussion focused on the extreme character traits, I guess as the technology for examining brain patterns was new and more extreme difference might be more easily detected. Even in popular culture subtler transitions, such as from shyness to confidence, with its nuance and gradual nature is hard to pin down. /cryptosapiens 🧠

🧵 (1/2) I was going to start with characters throughout mythology and culture that show contrasting good and bad personality traits but that would be easy as there are many. So instead the question I asked AI was if there were any fictional characters with Multiple personality characters ( dissociative identity disorder or similar traits) AI replied that they are rarer in traditional mythologies and older literature. However, in modern storytelling, characters with distinct good-natured multiple personalities do exist where characters display multiple, distinctly good-natured personalities: Film / movies: Kevin Wendell Crumb (The Horde) - from "Split," has multiple personalities, including some that are gentle and caring, such as Hedwig (a child) and Barry (an artist). Marc Spector / Steven Grant - from Marvel's "Moon Knight," who has DID. Steven Grant is a good-natured, mild-mannered gift shop employee, while Marc Spector is a heroic mercenary.

🧵 (1/2) Key Differences between Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, while both serious mental health conditions, differ significantly in their symptoms and patterns. Schizophrenia mainly involves psychotic symptoms like hallucinations and delusions. On the other hand, bipolar disorder is characterized by mood disturbances, including both manic and depressive episodes. In terms of their course, schizophrenia tends to have more constant and persistent symptoms, whereas bipolar disorder is marked by alternating periods of mania and depression.

🧵 ( 1/2) By the way on the subject of Nitric Oxide ( NO), humming can increase NO levels in the body. This is what AI says on the subject ( needless to say this is not medical advice and is for educational purposes only ). Humming has several benefits in relation to nitric oxide (NO) levels: 1. Increased NO Production: Humming significantly boosts the production of nitric oxide in the nasal passages. This can increase NO levels by up to 15 times compared to quiet breathing. 2. Antimicrobial Properties: Higher NO levels help kill or inhibit bacteria and viruses, reducing the risk of respiratory infections. 3. Improved Breathing: NO helps dilate blood vessels and airways, enhancing airflow and oxygen exchange in the lungs, which is beneficial for respiratory health. Example Benefits: - Sinus Health: Regular humming can help keep the sinuses clear and reduce congestion.

🧵 (1/2) Recently, neuroscientists proposed an alternative explanation to Greenfield’s generalised view of lithium’s effect on the brain, suggesting that lithium can directly affect nitric oxide (NO) levels. Lithium and Nitric Oxide in the Brain 1. Lithium and Mood Disorders: Lithium is a medication used to treat mood disorders like bipolar disorder. Its exact workings were previously unclear. 2. Nitric Oxide (NO): NO is a gas that acts as a messenger in the brain, aiding in blood flow and neuron communication. 3. Neuronal Nitric Oxide Synthase (nNOS): This brain enzyme produces NO and is activated by specific receptors to increase NO production. 4. How Lithium Works: Recent studies suggest lithium interacts with nNOS to stabilize NO levels, regulating brain blood flow and neuron communication. 5. Why It Matters: Balanced NO levels are crucial for brain function, stabilizing mood and improving symptoms in bipolar disorder.

It's not the lithium / sodium dampening effect at the individual neuron level but the collective effect of many brain cells being affected. Greenfield uses the analogy of an individual football (soccer) player kicking a ball as compared to several players collectively playing the complex game. The brain cells work together as a network. /cryptosapiens 🧠
