About The Series
We first sat down with Encina in 2018 to discuss what it’s like to live with 11 personalities and dissociative identity disorder (DID). However, we didn’t get the full picture. In this series, we flesh out Encina’s full mental health journey, which includes dealing with major depressive disorder with mixed features, complex PTSD, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
Encina also details how life has been since we last sat down with her, what it was like growing up and coping with these mental health disorders, and her treatment path.
