Dissociative identity
Dissociative identity disorder is
when a person has two or more distinct personalities or identities. Their
alternative personalities may be a different age and gender and demonstrate
different moods and preferences. When a personality is not in control, it detaches
and may be unaware of what is happening. For the question given above, the
court-appointed psychiatrist knows immediately that Ferris does not suffer from
dissociative identity disorder, as the host is never conscious of the alter
egos.
