A little more about Dissociative Identity Disorder
Dissociative Identity Disorder is a disorder characterized by identity fragmentation rather than a proliferation of separate personalities.
Dissociative Identity Disorder reflects a failure to integrate various aspects of identity, memory and consciousness in a single multidimensional self. Usually, a primary identity carries the individual's given name and is passive, dependent, guilty and depressed. \When in control, each personality state, or alter, may be experienced as if it has a distinct history, self-image and identity.
