DISSOCIATIVE IDENTITY DISORDER * DID
SYMPTOMS
  • Forgetfulness Impulsivity
  • Memory lapses that can have a duration from hours to days to weeks
  • Mood swings from mild to wild
  • Hearing voices from within
CO-MORBID WITH:
  • Depression, anxiety disorders, suicidal ideation
  • Personality disorders
  • Eating disorders
CO-MORBIDITY MAY EXIST BECAUSE:
  • Some alters diagnosable; others not
  • Trauma that causes DID may cause other disorders
  • Some alters may try to harm the "host"
PROBLEMS:
  • Misdiagnosing: usually as schizophrenia, personality disorders (borderline) or bipolar disorder
CAUSES
  • The only psychological disorder that is always related to childhood trauma
  • DID can be viewed as a psychological protective mechanism
  • Polyfragmenting = the development of "alters" that cope with different aspects of the trauma/abuse or provide different functions for the "host"
  • Age of child, severity, and chronicity of abuse correlated with the degree of polyfragmenting
  • "Multiple personalities" a misnomer: alters are usually one-dimensional having only one or limited memories or very specific functions
TREATMENT:
  • Determination of the alters and their functions
  • Memory recovery Integration

Amongst Ourselves : A Self-Help Guide to Living With Dissociative Identity Disorder
by Tracy, Ph.D. Alderman, Karen Marshall LCSW, "We had read everything we could get our hands on about MPD, hoping to find something we could use both as a therapeutic source for ourselves and a resource to share with important people in our life.This book not only does just that, but most importantly, it consistantly exudes respect for the multiple as a whole as well as for each alter. Rosalee, one of the alters of one of the authors, describes various facets of living with MPD with honesty and candor. We feel that this book should be distributed like World War Two propaganda: out of low-flying airplanes, to the masses."

    What are dissociative disorders?

    A dissociative disorder is the breakdown of one’s perception of his/her surroundings, memory, identity, or consciousness.
    There are four main kinds of dissociative disorders:
  • Dissociative amnesia
  • Dissociative fugue
  • Dissociative identity disorder (previously called multiple personality disorder)
  • Depersonalization disorder What are the main characteristics of each dissociative disorder?
    Dissociative amnesia:
    A dissociative amnesia may be present when a person is unable to remember important personal information, which is usually associated with a traumatic event in his/her life. The loss of memory creates gaps in this individual's personal history.
    Dissociative fugue:
    A dissociative fugue may be present when a person impulsively wanders or travels away from home and upon arrival in the new location is unable to remember his/her past. The individual's personal identity is lost because that person is confused about who he/she is. The travel from home generally occurs following a stressful event. The person in the fugue appears to be functioning normally to other people. However, after the fugue experience, the individual may not be able to recall what happened during the fugue state. The condition is usually diagnosed when relatives find their lost family member living in another community with a new identity.

    DISSOCIATIVE IDENTITY DISORDER (DID) Introduction to Articles
    The following articles are written with concern and appreciation for those who have the diagnosis of Dissociative Identity Disorder, (DID), formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder.
    It is my hope that the more aware of this phenomenon the public and Mental Health colleagues and other professionals are, there will be progess made in the understanding and treatment of it.
    I would appreciate, and ask those who would be willing to share either their personal experience or connection with Multiplicity if they would contact me from this site.
    It might be thought the inclusion of this website's URL in some of the articles is redundant. I have been asked by a number of people for different articles for educational purposes and printouts. I confess to the lazy man's way of giving further information by simply including the URL of this website.
    One note of caution here for any reader who has been diagnosed with DID or who might suspect they are multiple. Some article content might be triggering and it might be good to have support available if needed.

    (formerly Multiple Personality Disorder) Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), previously referred to as multiple personality disorder (MPD), is a dissociative disorder involving a disturbance of identity in which two or more separate and distinct personality states (or identities) control the individual's behavior at different times. When under the control of one identity, the person is usually unable to remember some of the events that occurred while other personalities were in control. The different identities, referred to as alters, may exhibit differences in speech, mannerisms, attitudes, thoughts, and gender orientation. The alters may even differ in "physical" properties such as allergies, right-or-left handedness, or the need for eyeglass prescriptions. These differences between alters are often quite striking. The person with DID may have as few as two alters, or as many as 100. The average number is about 10. Often alters are stable over time, continuing to play specific roles in the person's life for years. Some alters may harbor aggressive tendencies, directed toward individuals in the person's environment, or toward other alters within the person. At the time that a person with DID first seeks professional help, he or she is usually not aware of the condition. A very common complaint in people with DID is episodes of amnesia, or time loss. These individuals may be unable to remember events in all or part of a proceeding time period. They may repeatedly encounter unfamiliar people who claim to know them, find themselves somewhere without knowing how they got there, or find items that they don't remember purchasing among their possessions.

    Dissociative Identity Disorder Dissociative Identity Disorder Depersonalization Personal Stories of Dissociation Dissociation Home Dissociative Identity Disorder, previously called multiple personality disorder, is a dissociative disorder involving a disturbance of identity in which two or more separate and distinct personality states control the individual's behavior at different times. The different identities, referred to as alters, may exhibit differences in many areas, including speech, mannerisms, beliefs, and gender orientation. Physical characteristics, such as accent, hand preference, and even eye color, may change depending on the personality. There is usually memory loss for events that occurred while one of the other personalities was in control of the body. Individuals with this disorder may have as few as two alters, or as many as 100. Often each alter plays a specific role in the individual's life, taking control when in certain situations. Some alters may be aware of the others and even have the ability to communicate with them, but this is not always the case. The "host" or "core personality" very often is completely unaware of the presence of the alters, and it is not until the individual seeks professional help for one of the other symptoms, such as depression or amnesia, that the true condition is discovered. Diagnostic Criteria for Dissociative Identity Disorder:

    Dissociative Identity Disorder Formerly called Multiple Personality Disorder Symptoms: The presence of two or more distinct identities or personality states (each with its own relatively enduring pattern of perceiving, relating to, and thinking about the environment and self). At least two of these identities or personality states recurrently take control of the person's behavior. Inability to recall important personal information that is too extensive to be explained by ordinary forgetfulness. The disturbance is not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., blackouts or chaotic behavior during Alcohol Intoxication) or a general medical condition (e.g., complex partial seizures). Note: In children, the symptoms are not attributable to imaginary playmates or other fantasy play.
