queerdinosuar's manga / #Mental illness(4)

Not a great depiction of DID I’m sure, but a cute story in its own way. He ends up liking both personalities.

Hmm as someone with a degree in psychology, the ethics of this situation are questionable from the start. I mean psychoanalysis is less than scientific at best. the author just goes making up psychological concepts like “father’s law” and having a plot point be how crack is a hallucinogen and a narcotic (it’s neither, a stimulant and does not have that effect) and that everyone in the US uses it. That said, it is super interesting psychologically to watch a man who is trying to get better and work through his trauma. I do absolutely love the artwork though. The artist has such an interesting way of expressing things and does a lot with interesting angles I don’t often see. Shots from underneath the characters feet or body or putting things upside down, it’s very visually interesting and communicates a certain disconcerting feeling.
