Question: A fact sheet of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) produced by the Mental Health Information Service

Answer: Dissociation is a mental process where there is a lack of connection between memories,
thoughts, feelings, actions or sense of identity. This disconnection is termed ‘splitting’ and
exists at a sub-conscious level. The process of dissociation exists on a continuum. Mild
dissociation experiences are common such as daydreaming or ‘highway hypnosis’, where
a person drives from ‘A’ to ‘B’ but does not remember the details of the journey.
