Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) Awareness Day, March 5: Early detection, treatment, therapy and individualized education can be helpful


 Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) Awareness Day is observed 5 March in many countries across the globe. Earlier it was observed in US as a national day to raise awareness and promote understanding of and support for this psychological condition which is also known as multiple personality disorder.

"Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) Awareness Day is essential in fostering understanding, breaking stigma, and advocating for better mental health support for those living with DID," states Peace Hospital in US while asserting that DID is a mental health disorder. With early detection, treatment, therapy and special individualized education provision in can be corrected.

Some other specific mental health could be anxiety disorders, mood disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders, Panic disorder, Phobias (such as fear of heights, darkness, animals or academic areas such as math), mood disorders depression and bipolar disorder.

DID is viewed as mental health condition characterised by the presence of two or more distinct identities or personality states within an individual manifesting as person's thoughts, feelings, and actions.

Though the the exact causes of of DID are yet to be found out, however research suggest that in early childhood, DID could develop as a result of severe and prolonged unshared trauma due to fear of stigma suffered by the child resulting into dissociation from normal behaviours which is a defence mechanism used to cope with traumatic experiences and memories.

Therefore, the awareness of DID is necessary for early detection, treatment, therapy and inclusion through individualized education.
