Dissociative: Identity Disorder (DID) is what TV called "multiple personality." These folks often have a dozen or more "personalities." It is the result of major trauma and is not the same as people who are moody. Personality disorders are different from DID and refer to deep patterns of behavior. Peace and good health. Diagnosis and treatment are needed in either case.
