Multiple personality disorder in a hospital setting.
Multiple personality disorder (MPD) should be considered in cases where there have been multiple diagnoses, failure of conventional treatments, a mixture of psychiatric and somatic symptoms, and/or extremely rapid shifts in symptoms and level of function. Proper diagnosis and treatment often leads to a significant amelioration in symptoms and increase in level of function for a patient previously refractory to treatment.
