Core criterion B
Recurrent gaps in recall of everyday events, personal information, and/or traumatic events inconsistent with ordinary forgetting

Consistent with [Dissociative Identity Disorder] [specifier(s)]. Over a prolonged period, there have been two or more distinct identity states; discontinuity in sense of self and agency; marked alterations in affect; behaviour; consciousness; memory; perception; cognition; sensory-motor function, together with recurrent gaps in recall of everyday events; personal information; traumatic events, forming a pattern consistent with a dissociative syndrome beginning after significant psychological trauma or developmental stressors. The presentation is further characterised by dissociative transitions experienced as involuntary or outside conscious control, with symptoms present across multiple settings and not attributable to cultural or religious practices. These symptoms have resulted in clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or interpersonal functioning, and the disturbance is not better explained by substance/medication effects, seizures, or another neurological or psychiatric condition.
