WHAT IS DISSOCIATIVE
IDENTITY DISORDER (DID)?
Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder, is characterized as an individual having two or more distinct personality states, according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th edition). Although this is the main distinction for DID, there are other symptoms that can be an indicator of not only DID, but of dissociation in general.
