The Mangled Mind Podcast with Steven Shelton: Living with Dissociative Identity Disorder
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.

Episode 102: Amy—52 Personalities and a Sex Cult
This episode discusses the subjects of self-harm and sexual abuse of a child, although there is no graphic description of either.
Amy developed dissociative identity disorder after being sexually abused by her father and brother—and sold by her father at age 11 to a pedophile sex cult. She developed 52 other personalities to help her deal with the trauma.
The cult brainwashed Amy to respond to triggers. After being subjected to their abuse for decades, Amy finally found help and severed her connection to the cult.
