I thought it was a good episode. I do think everyone is very quickly jumping onto the "Shallan has Dissociative Identity Disorder/Multiple Personality Disorder" boat. If she truly had DID/MPD she wouldn't be aware of her other personalities. There are other diagnoses that more accurately fit her. I should probably write a post on this...
The diagnosis I've seen mentioned the most is OSDD (Other Specified Dissociative Disorder) specifically because one of the subtypes of the disorder is characterized by lack of dissociative amnesia between the alters. I'm not a psychiatrist/psychologist myself so not qualified to diagnose, but I know a lot of people with a psychology background have weighed in (including some posters who have suffered from this particular subtype of OSDD - I believe it's 300.15(1)(b) in the DSM-V) so I think it would be an interesting discussion (especially if segregated from the love triangle implications of Shallan's personality issues.)

Mostly in threads either loving or hating Shallan (there's been a few of those as she's very divisive) or in the love triangle thread, but to my knowledge there hasn't been a thread solely focused on her diagnosis. I think it'd be a good topic on its own though!
