Dissociative identity disorder: out of the shadows at last?

摘要

Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is a severely debilitating disorder.

Neurobiological evidence regarding the aetiology of DID supports clinical observations that it is a severe form of post-traumatic stress disorder. (C) The Author(s), 2020.
