Clinical features of dissociative identity disorder include:-

 The existence of two or more distinct identities or “personality states.” Each identity has a particular set of behaviors, attitudes, preferences, memories, and ways of thinking that are observable by others and may even be reported by the affected person. Shifting from one identity to another is involuntary, sudden, and can reverse at a moment’s notice.

• Long-term gaps in memory concerning everyday events, personal information, or traumatic events of the past.
• Problems in social settings, the workplace, or other areas of functioning in daily life. The seriousness of such problems can range from minimal to significant.

 Suicide attempts, self-mutilation, and other self-injuring behaviors are common among those with dissociative identity disorder. More than 70% of outpatients with this condition have attempted suicide.

 Dissociative disorders (DD) are conditions that involve disruptions or breakdowns of memory, awareness, identity, or perception. People with dissociative disorders use dissociation, as a defence mechanism, pathologically and involuntarily. Some dissociative disorders are triggered by psychological trauma, but dissociative disorders such as depersonalization/derealization disorder may be preceded only by stress, psychoactive substances, or no identifiable trigger at all.
