[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you know that this person has this diagnosis? [/quote]

NP and I wondered this as well. OP, are you and one of the alters close friends? The (I don't know the formal term, sorry) core or main personality? Did you know her before the other(s) emerged? I'm not sure how one knows about this unless the person tells you, "I have this diagnosis." Are you making this DID diagnosis yourself, based on the friend's behaviors and/or self-proclaimed, "I'm not Tammy, I'm Alice!" moments--? I would think only an extremely close friend, not a casual buddy with a shared activity, would be privy to a medical diagnosis. I'm [b]not[/b] doubting you, OP, I'm just not clear how you'd know this other than realizing she insists she's Tammy at some times and Alice at others, when you're with her.

As for how to react, actually I'd ask in a medical forum. See if the National Institute of Mental Health has any online forums, or the National Alliance on Mental Illness. I'd look for their input rather than input here on a general relationships forum.[/quote]
