Point. Disassociation can either be a symptom or a "disorder" such as Dissociative Identity Disorder or Dissociative Disorder Not Otherwise Specified.

Multiple Personality is what it was called but that label is a misnomer. Split Personality is more accurate given that it describes what happens. A person does not receive a second personality from thin air. Instead the personality that the person does have splits into two or more partial personalities. These partial personalities (if put together) equal one complete personality.

The classification must then have changed since 2005. At least then it was classified as a personality disorder because it affects the personality.
