What is a criticism of dissociative identity disorder?

Some experts believe that dissociative identity disorder is the patient's way of dissociating himself or herself from previous traumatic experiences. Others have proposed that dissociative identity disorder is caused or made worse by certain types of therapy.


Do people with Disociative disorder believe that they are sick?

If you are referring to Dissociative Identity Disorder, then that person is probably not even aware that something is wrong. People with DID have multiple personalities that may or may not be aware of each other, so the person rarely remembers things that have been done or said because a different personality takes over. If you were referring to a different dissociative disorder, then you need to be more specific.

What is similar between schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorder?

Although so-called schizophrenia is said to be a brain disease, while DID is acknowledged to be a psychological reaction to traumatic life events, so far no evidence has been found to support this distinction, and prove the brain disease hypothesis of schizophrenia to be true. In fact, newer research strongly indicates that both are caused by childhood trauma. Dissociation is not restricted to DID, but can be observed in schizophrenia as well. If a person is labelled with schizophrenia or DID depends on to which extent dissociation in relation to other trauma responses is predominant. If a fight, flight, or freeze response is predominant, the person will most likely be labelled with schizophrenia. If dissociation is the predominant feature she will probably be labelled with DID.

However, they changed the name of the diagnosis to Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) since there are some schizophrenics who actually do not have split personalities. DID is basically when the person becomes fragmented and their personalities become separate entities, fighting for control over one another. When another personality takes over, it is said that some describe it as "being a passenger in their body rather than the driver. In other words, they truly believe they have no choice." Hope this information helps. :)
