Diagnosing DID<br />

6<br />

The diagnosis of DID involves a psychologist<br />

consulting the DSM-5 and going off of their<br />

professional criteria for diagnosing the disorder.<br />

This criteria includes<br />

• two or more distinct<br />

personalities being present,<br />

• amnesia occurring within the<br />

main host,<br />

• distress based on the<br />

disorder,<br />

• disturbance in everyday life<br />

and no other outside<br />

influences being the cause<br />

of the condition (like<br />

alcohol intake or seizure<br />

disorders.)
