Dissociative Identity Disorder/OSDD - V2 Yard & Garden Flags | Single Or Double-Sided | 2 Sizes

Dissociative Identity Disorder (or DID) is a trauma-based dissociative disorder that was once previously known as Multiple Personality Disorder (or MPD). The previous name was changed because it often misled people to believe that DID is a personality disorder. ^[1]

A person with DID does not actually have multiple personalities but rather a lack of one integrated identity. This is caused by compromised brain development, which results from chronic trauma in childhood. ^[2] The alternate identities in DID are actually segmented parts (the ego states) that were unable to integrate together as one singular identity. ^[3] These dissociated parts in DID are most commonly called alters, but some people might use other terms like headmates, others, etc.
