Guide To The Symptoms Of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)

Abnormal Behavior

Abnormal behavior is another possible warning sign of dissociative identity disorder. However, this symptom alone is not enough for a diagnosis, and many of the others should be present as well. In this condition, abnormal behavior refers to patients finding themselves doing things that are out of the ordinary for them that they would not normally do or think about doing. These behaviors are often reckless ones, including stealing money from family, friends, or their employer and speeding or otherwise engaging in reckless driving. Regardless of the abnormal behavior, individuals with this disorder often say that they feel as if they are being compelled to do these things.
