Understanding Dissociative Identity Disorder
Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is often misunderstood, with many people mistakenly believing it is not a legitimate diagnosis. The experiences of individuals like Liza highlight that DID stems from early trauma, which leads to the development of distinct identities or 'alters' as a defense mechanism. These alters emerge in situations of stress or trauma, which can complicate relationships and perception of self. This misunderstanding can result in stigmatization and fear, particularly when individuals disclose their diagnosis to friends, family, or clinicians.
