A member asked:
What psychological problem can cause a person to constantly lose identity/ have empathy based on movies or television?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several issues: Any of us can become immersed in dramatic, evocative stories/movies, etc -- or can identify strongly with characters. But, does the person return to his/her own state afterwards -- or continue as the "other"? Some types of personality disorder can have difficulty with this, as can some people with dissociative disorders. Identity is not completely static, and gradually evolves throughout life.
