Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is characterized by the presence of at least two distinct identities or personality states, which may take control of the person's behavior at different times. The person with DID may also experience memory gaps or amnesia, and may feel detached or depersonalized from their own thoughts, emotions, or behaviors. While some individuals with DID may have more than two personalities, the DSM-5 requires the presence of at least two distinct identities to make a diagnosis of DID. Choice A and D are not accurate, as the number of personalities or the presence of depersonalization may vary across individuals with DID.
