Multiple Personality Day focuses on raising awareness about Dissociative Identity Disorder. This is a mental illness where at least two distinct identities (known as alter egos or alters) control a person's behavior and memory.
The first documented case of dissociative identity disorder occurred in 1584. Jeanne Fery's diagnosis resulted in an exorcism, thus its documentation. For Ms. Fery, it could have been much worse. Many women with DID were accused of witchcraft.

The average number of personalities a person suffering from this disease displays is ten.
