Legally no. Ethically yes. Many people claim they are being taken over by a hostile personality. So the hostage metaphor is a real one.
Depends on how drastic the division of personalities are to an outside observer

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

This is about as close to an answer as I can get as well… Theres certainly a grey area to it.
Theres certainly a grey area to it.
It's because it all happens inside the little grey cells.
Stolen. (as to say I'm stealing it)
As someone with dissociative identity disorder (formally known as very out dated term multiple personality disorder (which d.i.d. people really hate being called)).
Usually Never, sense we control one body I would be considered suicidal tendencies.
Although with d.i.d. everyone has different systems they have, as with just well. All Humans. All of us are different and present our d.i.d. in different ways. So theoretically a alter could, yes, but generally not very often.
Source = my whole fuckin life.
Holy shit! What an answer. Thanks for the insight.
Hi! Back in reddit there was a DID community. Is there something equivalent in the fediverse? I'm not a system myself but I know a few and I am doing some research on the topic, so I'd be really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction
I haven't found one tbh. Although most of my d.i.d. type stuff for like acceptance and like not feeling alone is through TikTok as people there are less likely to be silenced for existing. If you follow the right people of course.
Although if you looking for research stuff, try out the ring system on YouTube, there my go too for helping people who don't have d.i.d. understand it. https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCWOIKarfCsMwRJvQfe7915w
But as always, remember every d.i.d. system is different, just like all humans and experiences.
Do you have any resources for someone that was just diagnosed?
Is he black? Because then the American police just shoot him and say he was resisting arrest.
He's pasty white, but one of his personalities is black.
I'd watch that show.
This is true.
I'm not sure, but as a woman "with multiple personalities" I can say it fucking feels like it sometimes
I think I once saw a (fictional) TV episode exploring that idea. I just can't remember which series.
Oddly enough.....Rugrats if you can believe it. Chucky goes through a mental psychosis, and becomes skitzophrenic, and finds his dads gun by his bed.
It's so weird that I tried to come up with the most absurd thing possible, but I honestly could visualize a preschooler having a mental breakdown and shooting up the school. Welcome to life in America. Everythings made up, and the gun violence doesn't matter.
