What are the dangers of multiple personality?
The biggest danger of Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly Multiple Personality Disorder) is having one or more personalities unaware of other personalities and their actions. People with DID cannot recall important personal information. This is not due to forgetfulness or traumatic brain injury. If one or more of the personalities are aggressive and/or hostile, this can cause anything from embarrassment to imprisonment for the other personalities. Frequent gaps in memory occur, both for recent and past memory. There may be visual or auditory hallucinations. One personality may "wake up" and not recall where he/she is or how he/she got there. Other disorders may occur in conjunction with DID. PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) occurs in quite a few people with DID. Other disorders may include Mood Disorder, Substance-Related Disorder, Sexual Disorder, Eating Disorder, Sleep Disorder, and Borderline Personality Disorder.

What is the difference between a borderline personality disorder and a personality disorder?
In sharp contrast to Anti-Social Personality Disorder (sociopathy) is another personality disorder, termed Borderline Personality Disorder, in which the problem is the opposite of the problem of the sociopath: the sympathetic nervous system of person with BPD responds too easily, too strongly, and way too often!Meanwhile, in the true sociopath/psychopath, the fight-or-flight reaction is very brief, extremely difficult to sustain even in an emergency, and does not touch certain organs as it ought to do; sociopaths are chronically "bored" because they are literally half-asleep most of the time. (Even though they tend to look awake and behave in an alert, intense manner.)Additionally, although individuals with Borderline Personality tend to use manipulation in various forms such as malingering, these are usually intended to gain the concern or sympathy of perceived caregivers. In persons with Antisocial Personality Disorder, deceit and manipulation are used to gain material gratification such as money, gifts, etc. Also, personality features specific to APD, such as an extreme sense of entitlement, egocentricity, narcissism, and exaggerated self-assurance are typically absent in persons with BPD.
