It starts today addressed, this Tuesday, January 4, a subject little mentioned in the media: dissociative identity disorders (DID). A mental pathology that involves the presence of several distinct identities that take turns controlling a person’s behavior.

It took several years for doctors to find out what Olympe was suffering from, speaks of her in the plural : “It was a little bit complicated becausewe were diagnosed with many other disorders before to be diagnosed with TDI. We are multipathological “, she advances in front of the presenter. At the age of 8, doctors first believed that Olympus was doing depression. Then, when she was 14, they also thought of “generalized anxiety disorders” and to “eating disorders”. It wasn’t until two years later that people started talking to her about dissociative identity disorder. A diagnosis that was finally confirmed when he was 21. At that time, it was a “big phase of denial” mixed with a feeling of “relief” for Olympe: “We understand. We were able to put words to what we were going through, explains Olympe before adding, after that it was not a relief because by inquiring, we realized that to cure TDI, to really cure, that does not exist. So we’re going to have to live with it until the end.” Over time, Olympe came to terms with her illness: “Little by little, we let things go and accepted all of that. “
