Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is complex and diagnosing it can be challenging. There is no definitive test, like an EEG or personality test, that can conclusively prove the presence of multiple personalities. Diagnoses rely on clinical assessments and observations over time, making it difficult to definitively determine when someone is faking symptoms.
