Dissociative Identity Disorder
P-DID , C-DID , HC-DID
DID otherwise known as dissociative identity disorder is a mental health condition. Someone with DID has multiple, distinct personalities. The various identities control a person's behavior at different times. The condition can cause memory loss, delusions or depression. DID is caused only by trauma during the ages 0-9 years old, endo "systems" are not a thing. Alters can form as young as 6(?) years old.
Diagnostic Criteria
A. Disruption of identity characterized by two or more distinct personality states, which may be described in some cultures as an experience of possession. The disruption in identity involves marked discontinuity in sense of self and sense of agency, accompanied by related alterations in affect, behavior, consciousness, memory, perception, cognition, and/or sensory-motor functioning. These signs and symptoms may be observed by others or reported by the individual.
B. Recurrent gaps in the recall of everyday events, important personal information, and/ or traumatic events that are inconsistent with ordinary forgetting.
C. The symptoms cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.
D. The disturbance is not a normal part of a broadly accepted cultural or religious practice. Note: In children, the symptoms are not better explained by imaginary playmates or other fantasy play.
E. The symptoms are not attributable to the physiological effects of a substance (e.g., blackouts or chaotic behavior during alcohol intoxication) or another medical condition (e.g., complex partial seizures).
P-DID
In the case of Partial DID the person still experiences a disruption of their identity, like in DID, but there is a 'dominant' "personality" (alter) which is usually at the front. Intrusions from other parts are infrequent and irregular, perhaps only happening during a particularly distressing or emotional experience. artial dissociative identity disorder is characterized by disruption of identity in which there are two or more distinct personality states (dissociative identities) associated with marked discontinuities in the sense of self and agency. Each personality state includes its own pattern of experiencing, perceiving, conceiving, and relating to self, the body, and the environment. One personality state is dominant and normally functions in daily life, but is intruded upon by one or more non-dominant personality states (dissociative intrusions).
C-DID
Complex did is about having a complex structure that exists to protect you from the trauma you endured as a child. Complex did exists when at a very young age (typically early infancy) you had no choice but to dissociate and that you kept dissociating for years. Usually past the teen years and many into their twenties.
HC-DID
Highly Complex Dissociative identity Disorder (HC-DID) is a term that describes (DID)systems formed due to programming.
HC-DID does not refer to the severity of the system's trauma, or how disabled the system is. Rather, HC-DID refers to the complexity of the system's structure/formation.
