The main character could be interpreted as having DID. Episode 8 features her watching herself being abused from outside her body in a way that reads as a metaphor for dissociation. She is also generally emotionless and distant in a dissociated way.

The main character could be interpreted as having DID. Her personality is split into two separate consciousnesses as a way to cope with severe child abuse, and she shows other signs of dissociation. Setting aside the supernatural aspects of her state that appear later, it seems broadly accurate to real life DID.
