Disorders

Do any systems here have multiples with mental health disorders? I was just curious, because over here we have Shania (who has Bipolar Disorder) and Ailsa (who has OCD).

Also, if someone like that is fronting, do they carry on their traits? For example, do they get the mood swings if they're bipolar?

That is similar to how it is for us. This body has a sensitive nervous system and certain every day activities can create more of a reaction for the body (and the fronter) than a body with a less sensitive nervous system. As such, any fronter will experience anxiety, for instance, while they are fronting. (The same with exhaustion, a cold, or bumps and bruises.) If they are in the body and actually directly fronting they will feel the bodily affects such as increased heart rate, tense muscles, or headaches. Those who are only near to the front may feel the emotional affects from the fronter such as frustration or fear. Depending on who it is at the direct front, the sensations could become less. Some in our group are better at handling anxiety than others. Everyone is different.

Or would experience anxiety if it were occurring at the time the fronter was present.
