People with MPD or Multiple Personality Disorder are patients with multiple, distinct personalities or identities within one mind. These multiple personalities often vary widely in regard to numbers, definition, relationship to host personality and frequency of outside control. Multiple Personality Disorder is often confused with schizophrenia, but it is totally different.
The theme of this article is answering the question – Can extreme anxiety cause or produce MPD? The answer to that question is a qualified ‘Yes’. It is a qualified answer because there are many potential triggers for MPD and no evidence that an anxiety sufferer will become an MPD sufferer. The reverse perspective is also worth considering. Many MPD sufferers possess anxiety disorders interweaved among the different identities but there is little evidence that the presence of multiple personalities themselves generated the anxiety disorder.
