Thanks A.G. for explanining this subject of dissociative disorders. Interesting how this condition may have to do with the size of the Hippocampal. "Hippocampal volume was 19.2% smaller and amygdalar volume was 31.6% smaller in the patients with dissociative identity disorder, compared to the healthy subjects.”

People do suffer greatly with these conditions and their families also.

Hi @redheadpei,
Thank you for visiting and for your generous tip. My understanding of the hippocampus is that it plays a vital role in emotions and memories. So, I guess it makes sense that there would be alteration there in a person experiencing profound personality changes. The tragedy of mental illness is that we understand it so poorly.

Thanks again for reading and commenting.
