Melissa aims to demonstrate that Dissociative Identity Disorder isn’t all a tragedy and that there can be a fondness for Headmates. What was once known as Multiple Personality Disorder is the most controversial mental health diagnosis, with even some of those within the field of psychology finding the concept of its existence to be laughable. This stigmatized condition that has been viewed with an air of psychopathy, tragedy, or fascination. While alternate identities may sound like science-fiction, perhaps, just like the skin we wear, the vulnerability for the mind to break is merely human and relatable. Though, we prefer to see this, not as the mind breaking, but rather, bending, with more of us now to help each other mend.
