Dissociative identity disorder (
DID), as defined by the
American Psychiatric Association's
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), is a psychiatric
diagnosis that describes a condition in which a single person displays multiple distinct
identities or
personalities (known as alter egos or
alters), each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment. The diagnosis requires that at least two personalities routinely take control of the individual's behavior with an associated
memory loss that goes beyond normal forgetfulness; in addition, symptoms cannot be due to
drug use or medical condition. Earlier versions of the DSM named the condition
multiple personality disorder (MPD), and the term is still used by the
ICD-10.
