FINDING AND DISCUSSION
B. Discussion
1. Mental Health Issue a. Delusion
When someone was deluded, they were unable to distinguish between what was real and what was not. Additionally, the writer found two delusion-related data in this study, which implicated that individuals with delusional disorders commonly convince others that what they perceived, witness, or hear was genuinely happening, based on the findings data 1, and data 2 showed the symptom of delusion.
Due to the main character's comment that echoes through my mind, the delusion was indicated by this sentence. Based on the behavioral symptom of delusion, the sound that emanated from the suffered heads was classified as a behavioral symptom, in contrast to the less severe voice disorders that frequently echo in the minds of suffered.
For the next evidence, the main character of the written novel dared to did anything to make his love come true, which could showed psychosocial symptoms and cause tension in romantic relationships, in contrast, the main character's statement about becoming the devil or a bad person who dares to do anything to fulfill his wish was what qualifies the statement as delusion.
b. DID
A person who had two or more distinct person or personalities that alternate was said to have DID, a dissociative disorder. The psychological illness known as DID, formerly known as split personality multiple personality disorder, causes sufferers to develop two or more distinct personalities and emotional states, each of which had a unique perspective on the world and interacted with it differently.
With some memory loss among the personas, two or more of these personalities frequently influence the person's conduct. It was quite likely that the old personality would lose memory of the new personality. Based on the table and finding above the writer found data from the table that showed the symptom of DID, the main charater begun from data 3, a disruption in identity entails a dramatic discontinuity in a sense of self and sense of agency, along with concomitant changes in affect, behavior, consciousness, memory, perception, cognition, and sensory-motor functioning. This statement made by the main character in the study showed a DID.
Data 4 According to the word, the main character said that it was difficult to have a body that you did not like. However, a normal person would never find it difficult to be human or to have a body even though it was not physically ideal, data 5 I was a girl, but the day before, I was a boy in a town. This line reflected the unexplained recurrent disturbance of conscious functioning, and the main character believed that he constantly changed gender to the point where gender was indeterminate, etc. Based on the table that clearly showed all the symptom of DID and the writer's opinion had been validated by someone in the field.
Based on the data produced by writer and psychologist, Muhammad Risal, S.Psi concluded that the main character in the novel has an indication of Dissociative Identity Disorder. the clinical characteristics of dissociative identity disorder are marked by the emergence of two or more different personalities that could competed for control of a person's body which is similar to the character in the novel.
Furthermore there was one dominant or core personality and several subordinate personalities, the sudden changed from one personality to another could be felt as a form of possession, these other personalities generally included children of various ages, youth of the opposite sex, prostitutes, and gays and lesbians. Some personalities
probably exhibit psychotic symptoms of detachment from reality which were expressed in the form of hallucinations and delusional thoughts.
c. Depression
Depression was defined as a persistently depressing emotion that permeates a person's thoughts and behaviors on a daily basis. Mood swings might be a hallmark of depression, and those who were depressed frequently felt hopeless and lose interest in regular activities.
The worst case scenario was that the option to end suffered lives because they had no hope. Based of the table the writer concluded the main character has a depression, the evidenced were data 30: According to the line about the main character having a mental illness like depression, depressed people typically exhibit particular psychological and physical traits.

Data 31, the primary character in the data described waking up after taking a lot of medication and discovering a number of pill bottles on the table; this was classified as self-injury, one of the criteria a Pattern of Consciousness id, ego , superego
2. Pattern of Consciousness id, ego, superego a. Id
The id, which was represented by repressed basic instincts and desires, especially those that are sexual and aggressive, was the most fundamental psychic layer. Since the id was untouched by ego control and the reality principle, it assumed the function of the fundamental element for continuing psychic development. Two distinct process fixture kinds would be available. The first level consists of reflex acts, behaviors, or pursuits that elicit a range of intricate psychological responses. the most essential aspect of human property was hence id. Id is independent and did not require system instructions to function. And based on the table of Id above showed data of id was dominant than ego and superego. The information represented identity because it was a fundamental feature of human nature that had been displayed to the world from birth. This aspect was totally unconscious, involves instinctive behavior, and included expressions of affection such as kissing me.
Data 32, It did not matter if he was a woman or a man he still loved based on the individual, not based on gender. The word gender is explained as id since the most significant thing from id was to being an immoral person, and this was demonstrated in the data from the data.
Data 33 Since identification was a fundamental aspect of human nature that had been on showed to the world since birth, the information
represented identity. This element was entirely unconscious, consists of instinctive behavior, and included affectionate gestures like kissing me.
Regardless of gender, he still loved people for who they were, not because of their gender. Since the most important aspect of identity was being an immoral person, which was demonstrated in the data from the data, the word gender was explained as id.
According to the phrase of the data the main character uses to force Rhianion to look at him, it might classified it as jealousy that developed when the person the main character loved tried to look at someone else, look at me, an actual or imagined threat to a relationship with another person gave arose to complex feelings of envy. A person could be upset at a third party for purportedly stealing their loved one's affection. Data 35 the primary character in the data mentioned asked Rhiannon how she could classify that as love, call it love, even though she was unsure of whether she truly loves the same person or not.
This really demonstrated the contribution of the Id to the evidence.Data 36,Even though being a horrible person would be done in order to realize his love for Rhiannon, the main character's perception of himself in the sentence was that it was not all negative, motivates himself to commit immoral deeds in order to satisfy his wants, etc.
b. Ego
The id gave way to the ego, which functions in accordance with the reality principle in an effort to satiate the idemands by preventing the emergence of new tensions or delaying pleasure until a solution is discovered. This allows humans to deal with reality. The secondary process of thinking realistically, creating a strategy, and determining whether the plan provides the desired result carries out the principle of reality.
A reality test was a testing procedure that involves carrying out actions in accordance with a realistically thought-through strategy. It was clear from how it functions that the majority of the ego's operational domains were awareness, yet there also functioning in the preconscious and unconscious regions is a small portion of the ego. The ego serves as the personality's executor, and it had two primary responsibilities. Prioritizing needed would help you decided which stimulated to react to or which instincts to satisfy first.
Data 43, the main character in the data was willing to experience suffering in order to embrace reality because the ego dealt with reality, even when it hurted, and tried to satiated the desires in a way that was socially acceptable. Data 44, the main character felt dumb for expecting Riannon to accept the character's statement right away based on the word, although he should have accepted this reality.
Data 45, When Rhiannon needed to apologize to Justin for the
mistake that occurred when the main character was in Justin's body, the main character sought to give in, but the phrase stood up for values and confronted the truth of the ego. Data 46, ego consciousness could be seen in the statement made by the main character, who defined himself as being able to be anyone when running. Data 47, according to the facts just sit in my frame, the main character occasionally just sat there, floating in a tank or operating a vehicle without uttering a word. Instead, they thought realistically about their planned and assessed whether they would result in the desired outcome, etc.
c. Superego
The superego was the moral and ethical component of personality that functions according to the idealistic principle as opposed to the ego. The superego grew out of the ego and, like the ego, had no inherent vitality. The superego functions in the same three regions of consciousness as the ego. the main character shared the same lack of interaction with the outside world as the id, however, thus his demand for perfection is unattainable (Id was not realistic in striving for pleasure).
Data 53, Based on the phrase prefer for it not to hurt, the protagonist demonstrated the superego, despite the fact that the superego was the moral aspect of a personality that derived from social norms and values and was based on morality and judgments
about right and wrong, even though he had the capacity to carry out terrible deeds. Data 54, the main character in the data remarked, blame the devil after, not to blame anyone, because people occasionally hold the devil responsible for horrible things they themselves had done, this was an allegory for the superego. Data 55, The main character attempted to avoid arguing because he knew he probably got weird looked from those around him. Data 56, Based on the last data, we choose not to, the main character said that everyone hasd the potential to committed a crime but he preferred not to did that and this was the best reflection of the superego.
