Youtuber Trisha Paytas is no stranger to controversy. From her transgender reveal video to her drug use, the social media character is always in the limelight for one thing that has folks shaking their head or calling her out. Most recently, she's being referred to as out for diagnosing herself as having Dissociative Identity Disorder, or DID. And, in doing so, she managed to insult real folks with the sickness.

What exactly did Trisha Paytas say about DID?

In a March 12 video on her YouTube channel, Trisha posted a video claiming that she has "self-diagnosed" herself with "multiple personality disorder or dissociative identity disorder." She is going on to explain how she's at all times had different sides of herself, like T and Trixie, who've been part of her for much of her life. 

"Unfortunately for me, Trish, I never really formed my own personality," she says. "I was never able to develop my own personality which is fine because I have others."

Throughout her 20 minute video, she makes an attempt to explain how DID works to her viewers. But the problem is that the video is rife with A.) misinformation on how DID works and B.) insults in opposition to individuals who be afflicted by DID.

At one level, she says, "I watched the Anthony Padilla one and there's a girl, DissociaDID or something, and I watched it and I was like, 'Oh she seems crazy' but I know that's what I sound like now which is actually, like, really, really scary." 

The video that she's referring to is one, released on March 4, in which YouTuber Anthony Padilla discusses an in depth historical past of DID, which was once prior to now referred to as Multiple Personality Disorder but is no longer. Throughout the video, he additionally interviews a number of people who were professionally diagnosed as having the disorder. One such person was the person who Trisha known as "crazy": Nin from the YouTube channel, DissociaDID.

In reaction to Trisha's video, Nin did a 40 minute reaction video, wherein she broke down each and every piece of incorrect information that Trisha mentioned in her original video. To provide you with an concept of the way that went, Nin had to prevent Trisha's video 20 seconds in to give an explanation for why her definition of "alters" as "people who have multiple personalities" is no longer proper.

After Trisha's initial video went are living, Anthony took to Instagram to proportion a screenshot of it in his Story, along with a caption announcing, "Claiming you have dissociative identity disorder is not a cool excuse to mock people in the community and call them crazy." At which level, Trisha then took to YouTube again with a video directed at him, pronouncing, "People are entitled to say whatever the f- they want about," his March Four video.

"All I said was, like, yeah, watching that, I could be like 'That girl seems crazy.'...And I'm sorry, just because someone has Dissociative Identity Disorder like this girl does in the video doesn't mean that she is the king all, know-it-all 'Oh you have DID' or 'I have it, you don't,'" she said.

It should be noted that, in DissociaDID's reaction video, Nin made some degree of saying in the beginning that she would now not try to diagnose Trisha or declare that she did or did not have the disorder, as only a professional must do this.

Despite Trisha's video defending her declare that she had each and every right to name Nin crazy, no one in point of fact agrees.

Even after posting the video immediately in line with Anthony announcing that she must no longer be calling other people with DID loopy, Trisha has endured to tweet at him, despite the fact that he has opted to not reply on Twitter, save for tweeting out Nin's video.

Anthony Padilla “claims” he has had despair / anxiety but “mocks” a manic depressive suicidal human. U can “move me to trash” @anthonypadilla just be certain that u and ur female friend eye roll my dying and submit it to ur ig tale cause it’s most likely just for consideration proper ?

However, other people have extensively been siding with Anthony in this. And they're asking Trisha to stop what she's doing.

Trisha Paytas in reality attempted to come back for Anthony Padilla and act like he’s the jerk for calling her out. Hey Trish, you actually referred to as an individual (who in fact has DID) crazy. Lying about a diagnosis and then screaming about it on Instagram is pathetic. Anthony’s story: pic.twitter.com/3ZFapVnv95

If you don’t understand why Trisha Paytas faking DID pisses me off such a lot:

DID is a trauma disorder. It happens earlier than the age of 7-9 and prior to a single persona is shaped. It’s the brain’s manner of shielding someone from in reality demanding studies.https://t.co/YyaLs578zL

I'm so unwell of Trisha Paytas. She disrespected the trans group and now she's disrespecting the DID community that already has the sort of exhausting time struggling with the fear.

She by no means stops, and it sounds as if nobody cares sufficient, as a result of she helps to keep at it. It's disgusting.

So Trisha paytas watched @anthonypadilla video on DID and determined to make a comic story about an overly critical disorder that stems from critical trauma that can damage other folks’s lives? Could this women get any worse?
