Dissociative Identity Disorder

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is a mental health condition where a person experiences two or more distinct identities or personality states that take control at different times. These identities may have their own behaviors, memories, and ways of seeing the world. This disorder often develops as a response to severe trauma or abuse, helping a person cope by separating distressing memories or feelings. DID can cause significant gaps in memory, identity confusion, and difficulty functioning, but with treatment, individuals can learn to integrate their identities and manage their symptoms effectively.
