Dissociative identity disorder (DID), previously known as multiple personality disorder (MPD), is a mental disorder characterized by the maintenance of at least two distinct and relatively enduring personality states. The disorder is accompanied by memory gaps beyond what would be explained by ordinary forgetfulness. The personality states alternately show in a person's behaviour; however, presentations of the disorder vary.
DID is associated with overwhelming traumas, or abuse during childhood. In about 90% of cases, there is a history of neglect or abuse in childhood while other cases are linked to experiences of war, or medical procedures during childhood. Genetic and biological factors are also believed to play a role. The diagnosis should not be made if the person's condition is better accounted for by substance used disorder, seizures, other mental health problems, imaginative play in children, or religious practices.
