10 Dissociative Identity Disorder Symptoms
Symptom #8: Compulsion in Behavior
Our behavior as humans will vary largely from person to person. Some of us are more outgoing, others are more reserved, some are more or less trustworthy, and so on. A certain type of behavior tends to be typical of certain individuals, and you mostly know what to expect from them.
Patients with dissociative identity disorder, however, can experience compulsions to behave in certain ways. Their behaviors can be uncharacteristic of them, but they will still feel the need to behave in a certain manner. It can be very confusing, and very upsetting, to the people that are close to them.
