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 103: Krystal—10 Personalities and a Family
In this episode of The Mangled Mind Podcast, I interview Krystal, who's a wife, mother, and nurse. Doctors diagnosed her with dissociative identity disorder when she was age nineteen.
Krystal has ten total personalities. She had a terrible time adjusting to her illness—multiple suicide attempts and hospitalizations. Like me, she has an amnesia barrier, so she can't remember what her alters do when she blacks out.
