No Evidence: There is no evidence to support a diagnosis of multiple personality disorder, that does not mean at all that people who carry that diagnosis are not suffering and they don't have any psychiatric disorder, on the contrary, they usually have a personality disorder and another disorder co-morbid with it the most authoritarian reference on diagnosis (dsm-iv) shies away from that diagnosis.

Play on words: Multiple personality disorder is the former name of what is now referred to as "dissociative identity disorder, " the presence of 2 or more distinct identities or personality states. If one is diagnosed with multiple "personality disorders, " (uncommon) one would meet criteria for more than one personality disorder, such as narcissistic personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder.
