The Mangled Mind Podcast with Steven Shelton: Living with Dissociative Identity Disorder
Steven Shelton
On the podcast, I delve into the world of multiple personalities. The condition is called Dissociative Identify Disorder (DID), and an estimated 1.5% of the people in the world have it. I’ll peer into the daily lives of those with DID to see how they cope with their other personalities (called alters). On occasion, I’ll speak with their loved ones—especially in cases where the person with DID refuses to seek help. Please join me for what I promise will be an interesting journey.

This is a story of just that. Debbie Klose survived decades of trauma and tragedy. The only thing protecti ...
