"Dissociative identity disorder (DID), formerly called multiple personality disorder, is one of a group of conditions called dissociative disorders. Dissociative disorders are mental illnesses that involve disruptions or breakdowns of memory, awareness, identity and/or perception. When one or more of these functions is disrupted, symptoms can result. These symptoms can interfere with a persons general functioning, including social activities, work functions, and relationships. People with DID often have issues with their identities and senses of personal history."
"It is generally accepted that DID results from extreme and repeated trauma that occurs during important periods of development during childhood. The trauma often involves severe emotional, physical or sexual abuse, but also might be linked to a natural disaster or war. An important early loss, such as the loss of a parent, also might be a factor in the development of DID. In order to survive extreme stress, the person separates the thoughts, feelings and memories associated with traumatic experiences from their usual level of conscious awareness.
The fact that DID seems to run in families also suggests that there might be an inherited tendency to dissociate. DID appears to be more common in women than in men. This might be due to the higher rate of sexual abuse in females."

Symptoms of DID are similar to those of several other physical and mental disorders, including substance abuse, seizure disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. Symptoms of DID can include the following:
Changing levels of functioning, from highly effective to nearly disabled Severe headaches or pain in other parts of the body Depersonalization (episodes of feeling disconnected or detached from ones body and thoughts) Derealization (perceiving the external environment as unreal) Depression or mood swings Unexplained changes in eating and sleeping patterns Anxiety, nervousness, or panic attacks Problems functioning sexually Suicide attempts or self-injury Substance abuse Amnesia (memory loss) or a sense of "lost time" Hallucinations (sensory experiences that are not real, such as hearing voices) A person with DID might repeatedly meet people who seem to know him or her, but whom he or she does not recognize. The personal also might find items that he or she does not remember buying.
