What are the different types of personalities of a person diagnosed with DID?
Are there signs and symptoms? A multi (a person diagnosed with MPD/DID) always has a core personality, the original personality. It must be said that this is usually hiding in the deep recesses of the mind and that this hardly comes out from the safety found therein. The different personalities that take over are usually called alters, which is short for alter egos. They each have their own relatively enduring pattern of perceiving, relating to, and thinking about the environment and self. This group of alters, including the core personality, forms what is known as a system. It functions as one, much like the way the different parts of the body function together, though not all are aware of the presence of others. There are different types of alters, each having their own specific roles in partial fulfillment of the entire systems over-all goal.
