Dissociative identity disorder, formerly known as multiple personality disorder, is a mental health condition characterized by the presence of two or more distinct identities or personality states within a single individual. These identities may have different beliefs, memories, and behaviors, and the person may experience a shift from one identity to another without recalling the transition. This condition is often triggered by severe trauma or abuse, and it can significantly impact the individual's daily life, relationships, and overall well-being.

The diagnosis of dissociative identity disorder requires the presence of at least two distinct identities, each with its own distinct sense of self, and the individual must experience at least two of the following symptoms: amnesia, identity confusion, or a sense of being out of control. The condition is typically treated with psychotherapy, specifically cognitive-behavioral therapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), which aim to help the individual integrate their different identities and process any underlying trauma.

It is important to note that dissociative identity disorder is not a choice or a result of personal weakness, and it is not contagious. People with the condition are not responsible for their actions when they are in a dissociated state, and they should not be held accountable for their behavior. With proper treatment and support, individuals with dissociative identity disorder can lead fulfilling lives and recover from their symptoms.
