Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) typically begins in childhood as a result of severe and ongoing trauma or abuse, such as physical or sexual abuse, neglect, or witnessing violence. It is a coping mechanism for the child, allowing them to dissociate or mentally "check out" from the overwhelming experiences. Combat exhaustion or obsessive-compulsive disorder are not typically associated with the development of DID.
