The addition of "or an experience of possession" makes the criteria more inclusive of experiences that may be more common in non-Western cultures or certain subgroups in Western cultures. This acknowledges that experiencing possession or feeling as if one is controlled by another identity is a valid and recognized symptom of DID in these contexts. The other choices (B-D) include words related to spirituality or religion, which are not specifically mentioned in the DSM-5 criteria for DID.
