Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD): Have you ever sat and dreamed, or lost yourself in a book or work? After you finish the book or your work, you come back to earth and remember what happened while you were dreaming or lost in that book or work. With someone with MPD, this is not so easy to do for most. Most people with MPD don't remember anything that happened in the hours or minutes after the event. Some believe that MPD is a hoax created by films such as "Three Faces of Eve" or "Sybil", but is this a fact. MPD is a mental health disorder in which a person has an altered personality. MPD has been variously called split personality. to what is known in this century as dissociative identity disorder (DID).
