Been observing my Pantalone through writing for months and I think I finally got a grip on his psychological profile, I'll write under the proper description as observed by Dottore š«¶š»
His psychological profile as well as his medical profile are available to Dottore only and he was diagnosed by him.
He has different disorders that will present differently at different times, and different parts hold different symptoms / characteristics :
As observed by Dottore :
There have been significant mood swings with a major depressive state, differing behaviors, severe gaps in memory, dissociative behaviors, paranoid episodes that can turn full-blown psychotic, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, substance abuse, self-destructive and reckless behaviors, delusions of grandeur, increased confidence bordering mania, but not quite.
The symptoms grouped together can be categorized into three different ways in a DID system with at least 3 distinct identities ( or more, varying ).
Holder 1 : āPantalone / Regratorā ć¼ he is the front and social mask. His role consists in interacting with the world, seeking success, and hiding the internal brokenness. He holds the NPD traits.
Holder 2 : āAlexanderā ć¼ he carries the inner thought process of surviving by any means necessary. He is cold, calculating, hyper-vigilant, and fiercely suspicious of others ( hence the paranoid traits ). He does not trust anyone and believes the world is inherently hostile. To protect the self, he lacks empathy, ignores social rules, and can be ruthlessly manipulative or aggressive ( hence ASPD ) without feeling guilt.
Holder 3 : āTianyuā ć¼ he is the one who carries the heavy emotional burden. He tries to keep order, and is most affected by the biological mental health struggles. Overwhelmed by severe obsessions ( such as fears of harm, or losing control ) and spends hours performing rigid, repetitive rituals (OCD) to keep the system ` safe. This alter is often the most visibly affected when the biological Bipolar II dips into a severe depressive episode. āTianyuā is the one who seems to often slide between two different ages, the unhealed, afraid child and the emotional adult who acts in the exact same way.
āRegratorā is the one who completely despises Baizhu and any form of connection, and would try to constantly destroy them all for the sake of security. āAlexanderā is indifferent.
As Dottore has noticed, treatment often seems difficult when each holder / alter responds differently to different triggers, or often refuses treatment.
Bipolar II and OCD are monitored heavily, as well as the impulsive and reckless behaviors, and the paranoid thoughts.
The personality disorders, he sees nothing wrong with. He only interferes when it comes in the way of Pantalone's job.
Despite diagnosis, Dottore has judged that Pantalone reacts too strongly to attempts at healing or dealing with past, and even with separating the identity of āPantaloneā into different parts. He is more comfortable being seen as one person, and refuses acknowledging more.
Dottore goes along with it, respecting his comfort despite his recommendations. His segments and him make sure nothing spirals out of control, or at best, make sure he stays as healthy and as unharmed as possible.
