10 Dissociative Identity Disorder Symptoms
Symptom #6: Memory Variations
Our brain operates as a highly advanced processor, able to sort and translate information to make it useful to us. It also acts as a kind of data storage device and it is able to store a vast amount of information. When needed, we are able to access the data banks as what we know as memories.
While memories are not perfect, they do at least give us a general idea of past events and they are largely consistent. Patients with dissociative identity disorder, however, can find that their memories can vary considerably from one moment to another. An event they remember one day can be remembered in a different way another day.
