Dissociative identity disorder

Dissociative Identity Disorder was one of the earliest studied psychological disorders (Early History).

About 99% of the people who get dissociative identity disorder perceived individual histories of repeating, overwhelming, and regularly life-undermining unsettling influences at a touchy formative phase of…

My Towards the end of the movie, it was made clear to me that Dr. David Calloway is actually Charlie. De Niro’s character, Dr. David Calloway, played a man who suffered from Dissociative Identity disorder (DID), “characterized by the emergence of two or more distant personalities,” (Abnormal Psychology In A Changing World, DSM 5, p. 201).
