We all have things that affect us. While they may not be as severe as DID, when we treat the minds of other people as not being real, we ultimately remove the ability to treat any ailment that might exist in there.
This is tricky to answer. For both "yes" and "no" answers, it requires qualifications. And so the full answer is: "Yes, but not definitively."
Multiple personality disorder has been renamed Dissociated Identity Disorder (DID) as of the 2005 revision of the DSM-IV. It has become accepted that the dissociation is real, but as psychology isn't an exacting science, it's difficult to tell when people are faking it and when they're not (though there are some ways to validate it either way).
The exact primary cause of DID is unknown, but in most individuals it comes from having a set of traumatic experiences in which dissociating the events from a person's own involvement was needed, such as the case with some forms of ritual abuse, child molestation, or even killing (such as the case with some child soldiers). Such horrific events lead a person to have to temporarily become someone else in order to survive. And when this is reinforced, DID tends to result in certain individuals.
For those who are sincerely affected, the changes in personality follow certain archetypes: there is the innocent child, the guardian/protector, the persecutor, and the victim. Each has a unique trigger: an emotional state, a physical sensation, or some other event which causes them to switch personalities to a new identity. Many have different names. Some even believe that they are different genders, leading to problems with gender identity and social interaction.

What type of personality is the most beneficial?
You want to know what is beneficial personality, that is a good personality isn't it? Why is good personality needed let's see it clearly.It is emphasized that one must have a good personality precisely because most people have a fake personality. Because ninety-nine percent people carry fake personalities, that is why there is so much need to continuously say, 'Let there be a good personality'.What is a good personality? A good personality is a 'real' personality. When personality comes from your essence, then it is a good personality. And that is the reason why most people do not have good personalities. What do most people have? fake ones.What is a fake personality? That which arises from the influence of a situation. That which has no understanding to it. That in which you are just being carried away by the current, by the social current, by the current of convention, by the current of ignorance. That is a fake personality. So, when it is being said that personality is fake, what is meant is that a fake personality is to be avoided.But that does not mean that all personalities will necessarily be fake. You can live a genuine life. Yes you can. It is possible. And that is a good personality. That personality may not be the same as what you have traditionally admired. Someone with a definite set of features, facial or bodily, someone with a particular kind of voice, someone with a particular kind of persona, way of dressing, way of carrying himself.That personality may not concur with the image that you have in mind, but nevertheless it will be a real personality. It will be real because it is coming from your essence, your individuality.Look at this: Personality is like the flower, or the fruit. There can be a rose plant, and you can come and put a plastic flower there. But there is another way also in which the plant can flower. It is when the flower arises from the roots of the plant, when the roots themselves are giving birth to the flower. The flower is the personality. If there is a rose plant, it has the capability to give birth to a genuine flower. Right?Personality is the expression of your potential. The potential is already there within you, when it is expressed, then it is called personality.Do not think that personality is about a certain way of behaving. No, that is not personality. What you really are, when that gets expressed, manifested, then that is personality. Have a real personality. Be a genuine man, a genuine woman.
