Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD), also known as Dissociative Identity Disorder, is a type of dissociative disorder that results in at least two different personality states within one patient. These personality states are called alters; some documented cases of MPD have noted patients having as many as 100 alters. About 1-3% of the general population has been diagnosed with MPD, and as much as 7% of the population may have undiagnosed MPD.
In addition to having multiple personality states within one patient, MPD patients often experience severe memory problems that cannot be explained away by normal circumstances. Everyone forgets about where they put their keys or that they need to pick up a gallon of milk on the way home from work, but they do not normally forget their names, addresses, or other pertinent personal information. This amnesia for fundamental facts about the self can be extensive and can cause severe problems.
MPD patients may also suffer from identity confusion. A person’s alter personality might engage in behavior that the main personality finds distasteful or irresponsible. However, the main personality may feel helpless to stop the alter personality from acting. These people often feel a loss of control over their lives and their very essence of self. They may also feel detached from their bodies, thoughts and may perceive the environment around them as unreal or hazy.
Most MPD patients also suffer from other mental illnesses such as depression, sleep disorders and psychotic disorders. The average person diagnosed with MPD is in the medical system for 7 years before being diagnosed with MPD; this is largely due to the difficulty of diagnosing the disorder. Symptoms like mood swings, eating disorders, and suicidal tendencies are often present in other disorders, as are sleep disorders, phobias, and substance abuse.
