Find therapists that can help with Dissociative identity disorder (DID)

Dissociative identity disorder (DID), previously known as multiple personality disorder, is a complex mental health condition in which an individual experiences two or more distinct and separate identities or personality states, each with its own unique way of perceiving and interacting with the world. These identities may have different names, ages, genders, or cultural backgrounds, and may have distinct memories, behaviors, and preferences. Dissociative identity disorder is thought to develop as a coping mechanism to deal with severe childhood trauma or abuse, and may result in significant impairments in daily functioning.
