Dissociative identity disorder
Dissociative identity disorder is a controversial clinical diagnosis in psychiatry. Although it is a recognized diagnosis, there is controversy about whether it is a separate disorder or merely a manifestation of other psychiatric disorders.
In any event, the condition has two primary diagnostic criteria.
The patient manifests as least two distinct personalities that alternately control the actions of the patient.
In at least one of the personalities, the patient has no memory of the activities of the other personality, except those that could be explained by mere forgetfulness.
Although the condition is thought to be very common (affecting up to 3% of the population), it is very poorly studied, and both the diagnostic criteria and treatment often vary greatly from place to place or even therapist to therapist. However, the condition usually manifests itself in patients who have a long history of different psychiatric diagnoses and treatment failures. It is often associated with substance abuse, eating disorders, anxiety, Post-traumatic stress disorder and other personality disorders.
That is why the scientist say that there is a strong relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder and dissociative identity disorder, because the alternate personalities as an elaborate version of mental intrusions related to traumas.
The results of dissociative experiences scale (DES) didn’t report a difference between both genders, however, there were twice as many men among the highest results.
Sadly, there is no specific cure for this disorder, doctors can only treat side effects that are uncomfortable or painful for the patient.
I believe that this syndrome can impact in all areas, whether family or work, because it is not so easy to relate to others. These types of people, depending on the personality they develop, can respond to the world in different ways, either positively or negatively. That is why to visualize better the effects of this syndrome I recommend the T8 E7 of Dr house! Watch the episode!
