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.

Dissociative identity disorder is a disorder in which the person suffering believes him or herself to have multiple personalities coexisting in one body. See the related questions for a more in-depth exploration of what the two illnesses are.
