Abstract

Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is a persistent posttraumatic condition marked by impaired memory and selfidentity functions resulting from childhood trauma. It is a severe chronic psychiatric illness characterized by neurobiological, cognitive, and interpersonal disintegration in reaction to intolerable stress. Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) remains inadequately researched; nevertheless, more investigation may elucidate neurobiological and cognitive characteristics, as well as the interplay between individuals and environmental stressors
