3. Dissociative Identity Awareness Day / National Multiple Personality Day

This holiday has two seperate approaches to observing it.

First, Is the Dissociative Identity Awareness Day which is meant to raise awareness for Dissociative Identity Disorder also known as DID. It is a medical condition where those affected with it have memory loss, out of body experiences, detachment from emotions, and a lack of self-identity. Patients are diagnosed to have at least two different personalities that alternately control a person’s behavior.

Second, is the National Multiple Personality Day which takes an inward examination of our own personalities. This approach sees the day as a way to explore personality traits and examining the roots of those traits. We all show different sides of our characters at different times and in different places, depending on who we are with, our mood or what we are doing.

To join in this observance you can either choose to celebrate using one approach or both. First start by discovering more of your different personality traits. Also find out more about DID and how it can be treated or controlled.
