Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), formerly known as multiple personalities, often originates in childhood as a coping mechanism to deal with severe trauma or unbearable experiences. This disorder is a complex psychological condition that is believed to stem from extreme stress or trauma during early development, rather than from combat exhaustion, phobias, or obsessive-compulsive disorder.
