Dissociative identity disorder affects women on a ten to one scale compared to men, is linked to PTSD which in turn has a root cause in childhood abuse, particularly sexual. "Violent child abuse, especially sexual abuse, is the most common antecedent of multiple personality disorder". http://ajot.aotapress.net/content/44/11/978.full.pdf http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/3949718/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/3539264 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/16150685 Their amygdala and hippocampus are usually smaller. http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/article.as...me=163&page=630 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/18759808/ Hypnosis is one effective mode of treatment.
