People usually are good at adapting to each
social situation without mental problems.
Multiple personality disorder is still
not an established phenomenom, and like most
depressive/schrisophenic etc illnesses are to
do with chemical insufficiencies of the brain
- only the trigering/stimulating such episodes/illnesses
maybe due to social circumstance.
