Question

a person who has dissociative identity disorder:

a. has panic attacks when confronted.

b. cannot remember who he or she is.

c. hears voices.

d. has two or more distinct personalities.

Explanation:

Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly known as multiple personality disorder) is characterized by the presence of two or more distinct personality states (alters) within an individual. Option A describes panic attacks, more related to anxiety disorders. Option B is more associated with amnesia or dissociative amnesia, not the core of DID. Option C (hearing voices) is a symptom of psychosis (e.g., schizophrenia). So the correct answer is D as it matches the definition of DID.

Answer:

D. has two or more distinct personalities.
