I came across a show which was discussing "The United States of Tara", which is a series on Showtime depicting a mother with Dissociative Identity Disorder (the artist formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder). From what I understand, and this is all secondhand information, it seems to be a more reasonable depiction of a person with DID. And, just about to update my Netflix queue with some of that action.
For reference, the last TV series I watched which depicted someone with DID was Heroes - Ali Larter's character. It was kind of bizarre to combine the sci-fi powers with the multiple personalities, but those are two of my favorite things anyway (that is, sci-fi and psychology).
