I don't meet the history about of she.
I can't find her story. (No puedo encontrar su historia/la historia de ella.)

I'm not familiar with the story about her. (No conozco la historia de ella.)

Yes, Sybil was a person with a mental disorder. She had a multiple personality disorder (trastorno disociativo de personalidades múltiples).

Look here to learn more about the real Sybil, a woman named Shirley Ardell Mason.

In a way, maybe not to the extent that Sybil suffered, I think we all have different personalities. The difference is that we know how to control them and use them specifically depending on the situation.

We have a personality when we are home or on the job, when we meet new people, when we want to make a good impression, etc.

What I think happened to Sybil is that she was horribly abused by her mother and she used the different personalities as her defense mechanism. This type of behavior is quite prevalent in children or people in general that suffer abuse at the hands of their caretakers. Not everyone that is abused goes into some type of psychoses but usually there is some form of mental illness that requires treatment in the long run.

What a boring world this would be if we acted the same all the time.

Yes, a person with psychoses is usally very confused.

I'm totally with you on this one. I don't mean the details because I haven't had time to read the information Rusty has provided yet, but the overall idea.

Sounds most interesting, Rusty. Thanks for the information. I'll try to read more about her when I have the time.

It's called compartmentalizing which is normal, but when taken to extreme it can be remarkable-- so remarkable that it has become fodder for popular entertainment more that once. I'm sure Mr. Hyde wasn't the first
alter ego. I'm sure Sybil won't be the last.

Thank you, Maria I´ll wish my trip today, I´m going to Dos Bocas Tabasco, I miss you while.

You know, Poli, I was thinking and maybe I do have a multiple-personality disorder. You know: Iris, Gemma and now María José...Just kidding.
But on a more serious note, there's something which I have always found fascinating. A lot of famous writers, poets, painters, composers ... have suffered and suffer from mental illnesses. Is it just a coincidence? Is it that we learn about it because they are famous? Or is it true, as some mental health professionals say, that a high IQ is often related to mental instability or neurological disease?
Some examples that come to mind are:
- Mary Lamb (who co-wrote Tales from Shakespeare)
- Sylvia Plath (though been married to Ted Hughes might have precipitated her tragic ending )
- John Nash
- Iris Murdoch
- Goya
- Beethoven
- Mozart
And we could go on and on. I don't know but there seems to be a link between being a great artistic genius and suffering from 'depression' (a very blurry term, I know)
Sorry if this is getting too depressing (another redundancy) but it's cloudy at the moment in Madrid.... The thing is... I like cloudy!

I've been thinking about of the persons with personality disorder, it's must ugly, I don't know, how it feel, but I believe what the persons with that type of problems known, are persons very specially in the world of the medicine, because their head are full of thinks without explain, it type of ill sound very interesting as the can people be varios persons at same time in a sole person, I don't imagine as the person can feel his head when the other person arrive to her mind, it types of ill exiting in the word sometimes are very strange, we don't know if to life together us now with a person with this ill, I feel fear when I've the idea of meet a person with varios pernalities, and I believe what the people so, they'll can be person risky in her life in around of my own life.

I feel woe for theses ones, I hope some exist some type of medical treatment for them.
