Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)

Clinical diagnosis (DSM-5-TR, ICD-11) for the most severe end of the dissociation spectrum — multiple distinct identity states with discontinuities in memory and self-experience. Survivors of severe high-control childhood (FLDS, ritual-abuse contexts, some Hasidic and FLDS exit cases) make up a recognised subset of the clinical DID population. Distinct from the older OSDD diagnostic category.
