Poor victim of child abuse but I would say he is a child prodigy to come up with so much talents by having self study.
I guess one must have meet a super traumatic and drastic encounter to make himself escape from reality and start dwelling in the realm of his "made up" characters.
Every one also haf different "personalities" in them which they changed from time to time but what truly makes the difference btw a person who is suffering from MPD is the lost of control in self which will affect their daily lives.

 Daniel Keyes FAQ   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12)
After ten years of being transferred from one maximum security hospital to another (Lima, Dayton, Columbus, back to Athens, then Masillon and Columbus again), Billy Milligan was finally pronounced fused, "no longer suffering from a mental disorder," and was discharged from the Ohio mental health system and the Ohio courts, on August 1, 1991.
So much happened during the years since the book was published: (Billy's ill-fated marriage; his escape and the nationwide hunt to capture him; his continuing battles with the media, the politicians and the system); that I wrote a sequel entitled The Milligan Wars.
The most recent word is that F. Gary Gray (The Negotiator) is the latest in a long line of candidates for the director's seat, with Todd Graf working on the final rewrite.

While Canadian bassist Mike Milligan and guitarist Wayne Eagles don’t have the same recognition factor as the third member of their trio for this project--drummer Billy Kilson, who has worked with artists including Dave Holland, Chris Botti, and Larry Carlton--they demonstrate a similar concern for the overall shape and complexion of sound.
Milligan, who contributes three of the nine compositions, has studied with Holland and George Mraz, worked with artists including saxophonist David Binney, pianist Richie Beirach, and Canadian guitar icon Sonny Greenwich, and was the bassist for The Shuffle Demons, a group that gained considerably notoriety in Canada but, sadly, nowhere else.
Eagles may possess the technical prowess to shred with the best of them, but he rarely resorts to pyrotechnics, although his solo on “Exit Wounds” approaches the kind of power of John McLaughlin, but in a more Holdsworthian legato style.

"The Minds of Billy Milligan" is about a young man with multiple personality disorder, the crimes a few of his personalities committed, and the mostly horrendous treatment he endured while trying to find help for his mental disability.
Although the crimes Billy committed while under alter peronalities are unexcusable, it's both sad and appalling to know that the justice system in this country can be so cruel.
The conclusion left me wanting to know more of what Billy's life may be like today.
