Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is a mental disease succumbed within the category: Dissociative Disorders, of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), and notwithstanding its induction, it was previously and incorrectly referred to as "multiple personality disorder," implying multiplicity is possible, but this idea has been discounted by ƒunctional magnetic resonance imaging (ƒMRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) as well as other forms of hard evidence that cannot be denied. Trauma-Related Stressor and Dissociative Disorders are trauma-caused and lack all genetic origin, which differentiates them from all other mental disease. Today all traumatic-models have been incorporated into Structural Dissociation, which is inclusive of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), dissociative amnesia (DA), other specified dissociative disorder (OSDD), and DID. Children are not available for study, but PET scans and ƒMRI evidence show distinct personality states (DPS) in PTSD, DA, and OSDD, which are all without value; DID has DPS which are rigid and unyielding. Polyvagal responses feign, fright, flight, freeze, faint respond in all trauma-caused disorders exclusive of DID, where only fight and flight existent  because the depth of brain damage inflicted during early childhood.

OSDD in children demonstrate fluent alterations in what appear to be lesser damaged DPS and are easily identified throughout their lives, while DID is diagnosed with more than one DPS, and all are isolated, separated from lesser DPS and demonstrate both an ability to see normally and at the same time another state is completely blind, deaf or mute because that is the only way that DID presents. In other words, if a subject lacks DPS that are deaf, blind or mute, then their polyvagal system of cranial nerves I-XII are damaged to the extent they have DID.

"Existing data show DID as a complex, valid and uncommon disorder associated with developmental and cultural variables, which are amenable to psychotherapeutic intervention."

Early intervention is primarily non-existent, and therapy is ineffective until after full brain maturity has been reached which is often fifty years of age in females and approximately 58 in males, but story portrayal is historically always based on OSDD and not DID, and even though the world does not realize it, they are spreading misinformation in a way that is harmful to the therapeutic relationship between a person with DID and their environment, because until this is realized the people that really have DID will be chastised, threatened, and ridiculed, and all because they really have DID, and the world views it as something else, which is a sad case in today's age of multi-varied scientists where biologist, neurologist, physicians, physicists, mathematicians, chemists, theorists, and the like all work together to understand the complexity of DID.
