NCT ID NCT07663890
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), where a person may feel they have multiple identities. Researchers will interview 60 people—some with diagnosed DID and others simulating symptoms—to understand what triggers identity shifts and how they feel. The goal is to improve care and better tell apart genuine cases from faked ones.
