Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dissociative identity disorder, formerly known as multiple personality disorder, is characterized by the presence of two or more distinct personality states or identities. Each identity has its own unique way of perceiving and interacting with the environment, and individuals with this disorder may experience memory gaps or blackout periods when one personality takes over from the other. Fugue state, depersonalization disorder, and localized psychogenic amnesia may involve alterations in consciousness or identity but are distinct from dissociative identity disorder.
