In previous post, I have talked about the overview about Multiple Personality Disorder(MPD).  Now, let track the symptom of this diease.

1)  Depersonalization and derealization

Depersonalization refers to feeling unreal, removed from one’s self, and detached from one’s physical and mental processes. Patients feel like an observer of their life, as if they were watching themselves in a movie. Patients may even feel as if transiently, they do not inhabit their bodies. Derealization refers to experiencing familiar people and surroundings as if they were unfamiliar, strange, or unreal.

2)  Depression

Depression when exhibited with other symptoms of DID may be classified as severe or ‘clinical depression’. This type of depression tends to interfere greatly with a persons day to day life.

3) Compulsions   or rituals
A person in a dissociative state may have compulsions or ritual behaviors which help them deal with stress. They may also when agitated, in a stressful situation or in a situation in which they are exposed to a ‘trigger’. It may involve behavior, speech or thought.

4)Sleep disorders

Some example about sleep disorder is insomnia. The person will having difficulty  for getting sleep. Further info can be done here. Other examples are sleep walking and night terror.

5) Amniesia

Amnesia in MPD is marked by gaps in the patient’s memory for long periods of their past, and, in some cases, their entire childhood. Most MPD patients have amnesia, or “lose time,” for periods when another personality is “out.” They may report finding items in their house that they can’t remember having purchased, finding notes written in different handwriting, or other evidence of unexplained activity.

6) Identity Disturbance .

Persons suffering from MPD usually have a main personality that psychiatrists refer to as the “host.” This is generally not the person’s original personality, but is rather one developed in response to childhood trauma. It is usually this personality that seeks psychiatric help. MPD patients are often frightened by their dissociative experiences, which can include losing awareness of hours or even days, meeting people who claim to know them by another name, or feeling “out of body.”
