Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

These symptoms are consistent with dissociative identity disorder (formerly known as multiple personality disorder), a condition in which a person experiences disruptions or gaps in memory, consciousness, or identity. The different clothing in Jane's closet may be a result of one of her alternate personalities taking control of her body and making different clothing choices. The other options are less likely given the symptoms described.
