DID - Dissociative identity disorder

Re: DID - Dissociative identity disorder

In field of psychology there are serious questions about DID or even if it is a disorder at all (it is still listed on DSM). I remember one of my professor telling us that he has never met anyone with MPD in his entire life as a practicing psychologist. However, from what I have read, DID does exists & its shaped by cultural/religious influence from culture to culture (possession by demons/jins/ghosts, etc). In cultures where mental disorders are not well understood, spiritual explanation may very well make sense.
