What is DID?
- DID is a mental disorder classified by DSM-V - Is when a person acts as if there is at least 2 distinctly different identities or personalities in control of behavior - Usually people diagnosed with DID have memory “blurs” of when the other identity/personality “takes over”

Drugs) must be excluded - Effects caused by medical conditions (ex. seizures) must be excluded - Symptoms must cause significant distress or impairment in important areas of functioning - 2 distinctive personality states. Must involve discontinuity in sense of self and sense of agency, along with related alterations in behavior, consciousness, memory, perception, cognition, and sensory-motor functioning

Context
[|Includes general facts of DID (terminology used, general statistics, etc.)]

Issues for consideration

 * body of evidence
 * methodology
 * researcher arguments about validity of the disorder, and causes

Mental illness (Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy) [|There has been a great deal of empirical and methodological debate about the causes and the treatment of multiple personality. Many support the hypothesis that it is linked with childhood abuse, and that dissociating may be a way of coping with a traumatic experience while it is happening or after it is over. Skeptical claims about multiple personality disorder come in different strengths, although they are often mixed together.]
