Identity disorder By Dolly and Karen

Dissociative identity disorder What is DID? DID is a mental disease that causes you to have multiple personalities. You do not remember anything that your other personalities do, and you can speak different languages, have different interests and different skills. Your alter personalities can have their own sex, age and race. It’s like having two different people inhabit one body. How is it caused? Many cases of DID are caused by trauma, abuse and bad memories at a young age. Sometimes it can happen naturally.

Do you have DID? Symptoms- Blackouts, mood swings, forgetfulness, blurred sense of identity, mental health problems, inability to cope with emotional stress, feeling like more than one person, hearing voices, deja vu, not recognizing themselves in the mirror. Treatment- There is no official “cure” or medical treatment for DID, but if you visit the right therapist, all your personalities can merge into one overtime. It can take over 20 years for DID treatment to work, and sometimes it doesn’t work at all. Some effective treatment includes talk therapy (psychotherapy), medications, hypnotherapy, and art or movement therapy. Can it affect everyone-It is not airborne or blood borne, it is not contagious. You can not get DID if you come into contact with a DID patient.
