Dissociative Identity Disorder: Am I Real to Myself?

Author(s) Ana Tauqir
Country India
Abstract Abstract: Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is a known dissociative disorder that is trauma-related; however, patients diagnosed with this disorder have often expressed concerns about the reality of their own experiences. This paper will discuss the phenomenon of Dissociative Identity Disorder from a clinical psychological perspective as well as from the personal experience of patients who have been diagnosed with this disorder in terms of the question of whether what they experience is real or just imagined.
Through the mixed methods approach to research design, the current research incorporates a systematic review of the literature on the psychological and medical aspects of the subject matter, together with a small-scale survey among non-clinical respondents to examine the perceptions that can impact self-doubt among those who suffer from DID. The existing body of research on the subject matter will be examined for the aspects of prevalence, trauma-related causation, neurobiological findings, and treatment effectiveness.
Results support that DID is a genuine psychological disorder that is closely linked to traumatic experiences during childhood and is well-grounded in neurobiological findings. On the other hand, findings of this survey indicate that there is a great deal of misconstruction of DID based on its presentation in popular media. This paper also underscores how a lack of belief in a disorder can contribute to a confused sense of identity in a patient with DID.
