Multiplicity or plurality is the psychological phenomenon in which a body can display multiple distinct personas.[1] This phenomenon can feature in identity disturbance, dissociative identity disorder, and other specified dissociative disorders, among other things. Some individuals describe their experience of multiplicity as a form of neurodiversity, rather than something that demands a diagnosis.[1][2] Since 1994, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 (DSM-5) no longer refers to it as "multiple personality disorder", favoring other terms.[3]
