MPD is no longer the correct term for the diagnosis. It is “Dissociative Identity Disorder.” It is an extremely rare psychology condition found in people who experienced very intense early childhood trauma. Basically your mind ends up creating different personas to hide inside when you are in stressful situations so that it can adapt to those situations.

It’s actually very difficult for psychologists to diagnose someone with DID because a lot of the symptoms look similar to other conditions.

DID has no cure right now, and there is a lot of disagreement in the medical community about how it should be treated.
