How many individual personalities can one person with DID have?
Every person is different. It really depends on the severity of the abuse, the age the abuse began and how long it continued, the relationship of the abuser, etc. A person who was fondled once at the age of 6 by her uncle may create 3 or 4, or she may create none and go on to live a “normal” life. But a child who began to be sexually abused by her father at the age of 3 and continued into her early teens could create thousands of individual personalities by the time she is first diagnosed, and even then she can continue to create these parts. Each individual is different on how they will respond to the same situation. There can be no way to say for sure who will develop alter personalities or how many.
