Schirmer says: "DID is greatly misunderstood and overly sensationalized. Hollywood and the media are major culprits. A recent example is Showtime's appalling The United States of Tara. I have seen editors of prestigious news outlets conflate DID with schizophrenia. The clinical community might be of assistance but complex political and social processes hamstring it and the disorder is unfairly labeled "controversial". So the lay public remains woefully misinformed and anyone with the condition lives in unnecessary isolation or faces painful stigma. In answer to these outrages, I brought DIDiva to life."
