ENA AND DISSOCIATIVE IDENTITY DISORDER
ENAS BEHAVIOR
Ena's behavior is best described as unpredictable, unstable, and eccentric, often switching between mediums of high energy and a low depressive state upon another alter fronting. These alters are often completely different from one another, and most have different voices as well.
ABOUT DID
Dissociative Identity Disorder, or DID, is a mental disorder characterized by the presence of multiple distinct personalities. It's quite rare and serious, and can lead to anmesia, depression, and an altered consciousness.
People with DID have alters, which are essentially other "people" who live within the brain of the sufferer. These alters can all have their own mental disorders, ages, names and medical conditions. When an alter takes control, it's called fronting.
Many times, DID is caused by trauma. Different alters front to protect one from experiencing more trauma.
WHY ENA HAS DID
Ena is shown to have different alters, all of which have completely different personalities. A lot of the time, they switch unexpectedly between alters, especially during a time that could be considered stressful.
THERAPY FOR DID
DID is incredibly hard to treat due to it’s severity and rarity. There’s no medicine, and the most effective treatment is psychotherapy. Psychotherapy involves talking about the disorder and it’s related issues to a therapist in order to better control it.
ENAS ALTERS
Like previously stated, ENA has alters. The most common ones are:
“NORMAL” ENA: This alter is their default personality, as they stay as it a majority of the time. “Normal” ENA can be described as being somewhat positive and eccentric.
SAD ENA: Sad ENA is a more depressing personality. Oftentimes they front at stressful times, and are pessimistic and sad. Their voice is different from “normal” ENA’s.
“DRUNK” ENA: There isn’t much known about drunk ENA yet since they’ve only appeared once so far. They have slower and more slurred speech than the other alters.
