DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder)

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is a mental health condition where a person experiences two or more distinct identities or personality states, each with its own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. These identities may take control at different times, often as a way to cope with trauma or stress. People with DID might have gaps in memory and feel disconnected from themselves or their experiences. It’s a complex disorder rooted in psychological responses to severe trauma, usually in early life. Treatment typically involves therapy to integrate these identities and address underlying issues.
