"It’s onset usually occurs during teenage years with a traumatic incident or stress, such as a change in school, loss of a loved one or moving towns. Even though the disorder does not show until teenage years it is thought to be genetic. Depending on the degree of the disorder there may be severe depression, schizophrenia, alcoholism, autism, bipolar disorder (manic-depressive disorder) or on rare occasions, DID (dissociative identity disorder more commonly known as multiple personalities). All of these are different manifestations of pyroluria."
That's pretty much my story and I have DID...(well my psychiatrist calls it it DID, I think just for convenience. I think I only fit the not quite as extreme DDNOS/OSDD criteria).
Wow...As far as I've always heard from 'experts' in the field, dissociative disorders are due to trauma, and that's pretty much it. Yes they express differently by different people but I have never heard links to nutritional malabsorbtion... I must say I'm in a little bit of shock.
And although I'm surprised I'm not surprised, not with the links between nutrition and autism and other psychiatric conditions. But man...wow...
Lol, wait til I tell my psychiatrist!
