Castelli suffered physical and sexual abuse. She was also diagnosed with schizophrenia and was hospitalized several times. It seems that a tendency in people with dissociative identity takes over a dominant personality, there are rational, childish personalities and harmful suicidal personalities. Castelli has shown at least 44 personality types, some are "Big Judy", who is confident and funny, "Little Judy" who acts childish, and Squeaky, who is confused in her thoughts and is clumsy. Like Kim Noble's "Patricia", the dominant personality for Castelli is "Big Judy" who also paints. On a happier note, Castelli has been very successful, making a career in singing, painting and becoming an entrepreneur. These cases are important because, once again, they show how trauma can affect someone. Both articles were also vague in treating someone with dissociative identity disorder. Therapy is a must, but no medications were mentioned, just the fact that they were both abusing medications. It also shows that dissociative identity disorder cannot stop someone from being successful. Both women found refuge in painting and writing a book, which made them successful. Although dissociative identity disorder can disrupt a person's life, it is still possible to live with it and live a happy life
