The individual experiences two or more distinct identities or personality states Some cultures describe this as a experience of possession.

The disruption in identity involves a change in sense of self, sense of agency, and changes in behavior, consciousness, memory, perception, cognition, and motor function.

• Psychotherapy – often thought of as "talk therapy." This DID therapy encourages communication of conflicts and insight into problems.
• Cognitive therapy – involves changing dysfunctional thought patterns.
• Family therapy – helps to educate the family about the disorder, recognize its presence as well as work through issues that have developed in the family because of dissociative identity disorder.
• Creative therapies such as art or music therapy – allows the patient to explore thoughts, feelings and memories in a safe and creative way.
