Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)

[Brem]

DID or Dissociative Identity Disorder is a condition where someone experiences a disconnection from their own thoughts, memories, or even identity. This is the disorder that was originally known as multiple personality disorder. It can manifest multiple personalities in someone with said disorder. Do you know anyone who has this mental disorder? I don't know anyone, but I imagine there are some people out there with it.

DID was previously called multiple personality disorder. I don’t personally know anyone with it either, but it does exist, though it’s relatively rare. Many people with DID lead private lives, and symptoms can be misunderstood or hidden, so it’s not always visible. Awareness and understanding help reduce stigma for those living with the condition.
