Disassociative Identity Disorder is the
modern name for multiple personalities, a psychiatric condition
disproportionately represented in bestsellers and made-for-TV movies
as compared to other psychological diagnoses. DID was extremely
fashionable in the '80s and early '90s; today it is much less trendy.
There was professional rivalry to see who could diagnose the most
“alters,” as the extra personalties were called. This resulted in
incredible personality inflation, from the three faces of Eve to a
chart-topping 4,500. I may very well have a few myself, but it's hard
to tell since they seem to be absolutely identical in every way.
