That's different. Society now has a sensitivity to mental disorders, ever since they're prevalence has been on the rise. "Shark Amputee" isn't a mental disorder. Also, unlike Mike's DID it's portrayed as being a bad, while Mike makes the mental condition look like a superpower.

Many didn't think he should have been given the condition to begin with, and if he had to be given it, then they should've made DID look like a burden and not as a secret weapon to get ahead in challenges. Going deeper into Mike's backstory wouldn't be that bad, since one of the complaints about him is having no depth. But if that's too "dark", then all that's asked is to not add in all the comedy elements like his eyes bulging, Svetlana hyper-actively dancing around, or the other jokes stemming from the personalities. As for curing his mental disorder, either don't cure it (because in real life you can't), or have him see a therapist to negate it's effects. Maybe have it so overwhelming that he had to leave the competition because of it, rather like how they kicked off Psycho Scarlett.
