DISSOCIATIVE IDENTITY DISORDER Jasmine Lumpkin PSY-215 Project Two Due August 13,2023

INTRODUCTI ON What Is

WHAT IS DISSOCIATIVE IDENTITY DISORDER? • Dissociative Identity Disorder is characterized by:  A. Disruption of identity of two or more distinct personality states. The disruption in identity involves marked discontinuity in sense of self and sense of agency, accompanied by related alternations in affect, behavior, consciousness, memory, perception, cognition, and/or sensory- motor functioning (Hooley et al., 2019) .  B. Recurrent gaps in the recall of everyday events, important personal information, and /or traumatic events that are inconsistent with ordinary forgetting (Hooley et al., 2019).  C. Symptoms cause clinically significant distress or impairment in all important areas of functioning (Hooley et al., 2019). ** These symptoms are not a part of a cultural or religious practice, nor are they attributed to the physiological effects of a substance or medical condition (Hooley et al., 2019). This disorder affects approximately 1% of the general population.

Prevalence Rates • Dissociative Identity Disorder is a rare disorder to be diagnosed. About 1.5% of the global population is affected. Most often, DID is misdiagnosed, requiring multiple assessments for an accurate diagnosis. • Approximately three to nine times more females than males are diagnosed as having dissociative identity disorder. Females tend to exhibit a larger number of alters than males as well. Experts believe that this pronounced gender discrepancy is due to a larger proportion of childhood sexual abuse occurring among females than it does among males (Hooley et al., 2019).

Part One: Biopsychosocial Considerations

Biologica l Dissociative Identity Disorder is typically associated with long-term childhood trauma. Childhood trauma involved includes severe trauma usually related to exposure to repetitive physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. It would also include neglect, the lack of safe and nurturing resources, and the inability to manage trauma. There has not been significant evidence to support biological factors, however, biologically derived traits and epigenetic mechanisms are likely to exist (Sar et al., 2017). While research supports environmental factors and early- life trauma as the cause, it has been found that people with DID have some alterations in their brain morphology (Gilbert, 2019). Studies have shown a reduction in functioning and blood flow in the orbitofrontal cortex in individuals with DID while also affecting the amygdala and hippocampus. It has also shown that individuals with DID show smaller volumes in the parietal structures and increased white matter tracts (Gilbert, 2019).
