Do I Have Dissociative Identity Disorder? Take Our Quiz | The Recovery Village Drug and Alcohol Rehab

A common question associated with regular personality shifts and memory loss is, “Do I have dissociative identity disorder?” or, “Dissociative identity disorder is a mental condition listed in The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5) under the dissociative disorders class.

The condition is rare and affects between 1 and 2 percent of the adult population. The DSM-5 cites one study that found 1.5 percent of participants to have had dissociative identity disorder for at least 12 months. While uncommon, the disorder can significantly impact a person’s life.

Dissociative identity disorder is often called multiple personality disorder. The condition involves possessing two or more distinct personality states. The presence of numerous personalities causes a disturbance in identity and affects a person’s behaviors, memory, speech, perceptions, and motor function. Dissociative identity disorder develops largely due to traumatic events or overwhelming experiences of childhood abuse.

The DSM-5 lists specific criteria to help identify whether someone has dissociative identity disorder. The Recovery Village’s self-assessment quiz can help determine whether your experiences match the symptoms of the condition.
