  2. Causes • Can be caused by many reasons such as childhood abuse, social environment, problems in brain functioning, over-exposure to some traumatic situations, lack of proper support from someone in stress filled situations.

  3. Symptoms • A person diagnosed with multiple personality disorder can have as many as a 100 or as few as two separate personalities. These different identities can resemble the main personality or they may be a different age, race, or religion. Others may resemble each other or be very unique. Each personality can have its own posture, set of gestures, hairstyle, and a distinct way of dressing and talking. Some others may speak in foreign languages or with an accent.

  4. What it’s like • The sense of being detached from one's body and is often referred to as an "out of body" experience. • Feels that the world is not real or looking far away. • The failure to recall significant personal information. There can also be micro-amnesias where the discussion is not remembered, or the content of a meaningful conversation is forgotten from one second to the next. • A sense of confusion about who a person is.

  5. Treatment • Treatment usually last about seven years. They should see a therapist for this that specializes in MPD. This is because of a chance in mood swings or getting scared.
