Is there D.I.D. misrepresentation?
Although it is usually fairly easy to tell with movies like Split, sometimes dissociative identity disorder (D.I.D., formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder) is used as a plot twist, joke, or some other offensive tool. It would be good for those of us who live with D.I.D. to have warnings so we don't have be surprised by the shame and stigma cast on us.

The yes vote is probably because some things here could be interpreted as a metaphor for DID, and not a particularly accurate one. But nobody literally has DID, and DID isn’t used as a twist at the end or anything. Movie is pretty understanding toward mental illness in general

A mentally ill man who assaulted (broke the arm of) his therapist is said to have only been violent because he was in a “dissociative episode” but no other details are mentioned. DID isn’t mentioned or alluded to.

The closest would be in Season 2 for "Led Tasso" which is a harsher personality of Ted Lasso. Coach Beard has to "snap him out of it". It could come off as a "switch", especially because Ted says "how long was I gone this time" which can be common for systems who experience amnesia during switches. Our system wouldn't consider it misrepresentation, though.
