Doom Patrol -Crazy Jane and theft?

Hi, this might be a bit of a weird post, but I have had the idea kicking around ever since i read "When Rabbit Howls" by the Troop for Trudi. I really liked Jane in the tv show of doom patrol, I felt very connected to all the confusion and self-hatred they experience as a system. heres the problem:

Did doom patrol take the plot of "when Rabbit Howls" and use it for Jane's backstory? if so, why?

there are several reasons why I think this, the specificity of the alter-characters in doom patrol, and the existence of a "well". I want to do more research so I can come up with like, concrete reasons why I think this, but I was hoping to see if i am the only one who ever thought this, or even if this has been long proved to be the case and I never got the memo.
