What are the symptoms of personality split

Personality split usually refers to dissociative identity disorder, mainly manifested as symptoms such as identity confusion, memory loss, and loss of sense of reality. Dissociative identity disorder may be caused by childhood trauma, long-term stress, psychological defense mechanisms, abnormal brain function, genetic factors, etc. It can be intervened through psychological therapy, medication therapy, family support, cognitive-behavioral therapy, hypnotherapy, and other methods. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and receive systematic treatment under the guidance of professional doctors.

1. Identity confusion

Patients may exhibit two or more distinct personality states, with significant differences in behavior, memory, and cognition between different personalities. Some patients may feel multiple voices or identities competing for control in their bodies, accompanied by a sense of confusion about their own identity. This situation is usually associated with severe childhood abuse or traumatic experiences, and integrated therapy is often used in psychotherapy to help patients establish a unified identity cognition.

2. Memory loss

Patients may experience stage memory gaps, unable to recall important personal information or specific time period experiences, and this memory loss exceeds the normal forgetting range. Commonly seen in the time period related to traumatic events, it may be related to the inhibition of brain and body function. Clinically, trauma memory processing techniques and diary recording can help restore memory coherence.

3. Loss of Sense of Reality

Patients may feel an unreal environment or a sense of detachment from themselves, experiencing an out of body feeling or distorted and deformed surroundings.
