Dissociative Identity Disorder

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), also known as Multiple Personality Disorder, is a very serious mental frenzy. This disorder is characterized by the presence of two or more distant and complex identities or personality states. Many people with Dissociate Identity Disorder suffer from sexual abuse, physical abuse, or emotional abuse. The whole reason for the disorder is to protect the self from suffering, and to feel protected by inner personalities. Before reading about the disorder, I did not know much about the topic, or even that it really existed. I did a little more research and I realized that this topic is very scary! A person who suffers from DID can alter from personality to personality within days, minutes, or hours. Each personality can have their own sex, race, and age. DID produces a lack of connection in a person's thoughts, feelings, and sense of identity. There are many symptoms that go along with this disorder such as mood swings, suicidal tendencies, and even alcohol and drug abuse. So, as you can see, the life of someone with this disorder is not very easy. I'm very curious to see how Dissociative Identity Disorder is going to fit into the story of Jekyll and Hyde...
