Understanding Multiple Personality Disorder: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatments

Multiple Personality Disorder, now known as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), is characterized by the presence of two or more distinct identities or personality states. Historically linked to trauma experienced during childhood, such as severe abuse or natural disasters, DID often results in significant emotional and psychological challenges. Symptoms include mood swings, amnesia, hallucinations, and severe headaches. Diagnosis involves thorough medical assessment and testing. Treatment typically focuses on therapy to help integrate identities and cope with traumatic memories.
