What is it? Multiple personality disorder describes a
condition in which a person displays multiple distinct identities or personalities (known as alter egos or alters), each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment.

Prognosis• Treatment is a process and may take a very long
time• Patients with mostly dissociative or posttraumatic
stress disorder symptoms usually recover.• Patients with related addictions, personality, mood,
or eating disorders usually have a longer more complicated recovery process.
• Often times consist of symptom relief rather than identity integration.
• Individuals with condition commonly attempt suicide

Having Multiple Personality Disorder is terrifying. I’m always afraid of becoming another person. I’m told it stemmed from early childhood. I was sexually abused by a neighbor when I was younger.
![Page 17: Multiple personality disorder(3)](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051109/54980986b4795935418b475e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
I often wake up in unfamiliar places in strange clothing. I have no recollection of the moments before.

My family obviously knows of my disorder. They sometimes treat me like a freak. I have no reason to disagree. They usually do their best to love me though

I can’t seem to keep steady girlfriends, and only have a few friends. My friends are constantly concerned for me. They think I’ll commit suicide or make a mistake as one of my other identities.

A few of my other identities have done terrible things such as hurt others. This scares me more than anything: that I’ll do something irreparable.
