Subject: I have a split personality

Question
Well I think I have split personality...becuase since I was 12yrs old  parts of my life I don't rember nd now am 17 nd when I go out sometimes I have no memory where my friends tell me ****** came out thats my splits name...and say we went to the mall nd I have no memory of it at all....how seriuos is this?is it called split personality?

Answer
Dear confused,

Of course it would be difficult to get a diagnosis over he internet. But memory loss could be due to hypoglycemia and I suggest that you test yourself with the

The Nutrition-Behavior Inventory Questionnaire (NBI) at:
http://www.hypoglycemia.asn.au/articles/nutrition-behavior_inventory.html

and the

The Hypo Quizz at:
http://www.hypoglycemia.org/hypo_test.asp

If you scores are high it could be hypoglycemia, which can be treated by going on a hypoglycemic diet.

Otherwise please get a referral to a Nutritional Doctor, V]Clinical Nutritionist or Nutritional Psychologist.
