What Is a Split Personality?
8. Who’s At Risk
As mentioned, there is a link between a split personality and people that have endured traumatic experiences in the past. Those most at risk of developing the condition tend to be those who experienced trauma at a very young age, particularly those that were under 6 years old at the time.
This does not mean that all people that had such traumas will develop a split personality, however. Also, not everybody that has the condition will have suffered traumas at a young age, or even at all. There is also a connection between split personality disorder and some other mental health disorders.
