Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)

Formerly, called Multiple personality disorder (MPD), it is a rare dissociative disorder in which two or more personalities with distinct memories and behavior patterns apparently exist in one individual. Normally, the person loses all sense of time and/or memory when a personality comes out. A person normally developes DID due to a traumatic and harsh past as a child. Different personalities hold the troubling memories and may come out when the person is experiencing anxiety. People with DID describe themselves being taken over or sucked in when another persona takes over his or her body. People with DID commonly have a child-like persona and one who is aggressive. The aggressive personality may attempt to hurt and/or kill the body of the person.
