What is an alternative name for multiple personality disorder?

An alternative name for multiple personality disorder is Dissociative identity disorder. This name change occurred because it was recognized that the condition involves the fragmentation of an individual's identity into different distinct personalities or identities, each with their own thoughts, behaviors, and memories. The term "dissociative" refers to the detachment or separation of these identities from one another or from the individual's conscious awareness. The new name aims to better represent the condition's fundamental nature of identity fragmentation and the persistent disruption it causes in a person's functioning and sense of self.
