@drjaleelmohammed: “Multiple personality disorder,” now called dissociative identity disorder (DID), is a rare and complex mental health condition where a person has two or more distinct identity states, each with its own patterns of behaviour, thoughts, and memories. These identity states may alternate in controlling the person’s behavior, often without the individual’s awareness. One of the hallmark symptoms of DID is dissociative amnesia—gaps in memory for personal information, daily events, or even entire periods, usually linked to past traumatic experiences, often from childhood. People with DID may also experience depersonalisation (feeling disconnected from their own body or thoughts) and derealisation (feeling detached from the external world). These symptoms serve as protective mechanisms, helping the mind cope with overwhelming stress. #multiplepersonalities #did #dissociativeidentitydisorder #MentalHealth #psychiatrist #psychiatry
