10 Dissociative Identity Disorder Symptoms
Symptom #10: Alternative Identities
When you get to know a person, then you generally just get to know a single personality. Everybody can be erratic from time to time, but you mostly know the person reasonably well and what kind of personality they have. Sometimes, though, there can be multiple personalities in a single body.
Alternative identities are perhaps one of the most profound symptoms of any mental illness. The patient can take on whole new personas, with identities of “people” from different backgrounds, race, age, and even gender. Each persona will have their own voice, posture, personality, and behavior. They will even respond accordingly when the patient is under hypnosis.
