The Switch

The stories of three people who switch between different personalities.

Three people from three different eras reveal what it's like to live with multiple personalities, or Dissociative Identity Disorder.

A retired librarian who lived through the disorder's most controversial time and has found peace as several parts; an early YouTuber who fought stigma about DID and now lives as one person; and a young TikToker navigating life as a 'system'.
