Thank you. The focus on multiple personalities can lead to people with limited knowledge of dissociative identity disorder to confuse it with role-playing and disregard the other significant dissociative symptoms, such as amnesia between alters. These assumptions still have an impact on people with DID, including the stigma from people they know, in the media and difficulties with diagnosis. Treatment guidelines state that The difficulties in diagnosing DID result primarily from lack of education among clinicians about dissociation, dissociative disorders, and the effects of psychological trauma, as well as from clinician bias. This leads to limited clinical suspicion about dissociative disorders and misconceptions about their clinical presentation.
