It\\\'s very complicated, and there are some great articles out there arguing for each side if you\\\'re interested in learning more. Just don\\\'t expect the debate to be resolved any time soon. Oh, and ignore any article that uses electoencephalogram (EEG) evidence or similar as proof, for either side; it\\\'s been shown repeatedly that these measures are not suitable for research regarding \\\"personality\\\" as a construct. However, \\\'\\\'outside\\\'\\\' North America, there is a definitive set of disorders called Dissociative Disorders which result from the mind disassociating abusive or traumatic stimuli (physical or psychological), particularly at any point before 18 years old (where the personality is not fully defined). Dissociative and psychotic fugues, amnesia and states of depersonalisation \\\'\\\'are\\\'\\\' valid disorders and are diagnosed via criteria in the DSMV-IV, with manifestations of ulterior aspects of a single personality in ways unnoticed by the individual\\\'s conscious mind. What in America is categorised as a definitive disorder with a set of specific symptomatic criterion, is interpreted by the rest of the world as a multi-faceted presentation of these different disorders in the same patient, which isn\\\'t so much unheard of or unreliably projected by iatrogenic interference, but rare.

For one thing, that is \\\'\\\'huge\\\'\\\', even for a hottip. There comes a point in any technically-themed trope where the discussion of a controversial sticking point starts [[SignalToNoiseTrainWreck drowning out the trope itself]], and even hottip formatting has to draw the line when the hottip\\\'s bigger than the rest of the article. It\\\'s also showing signs of WikiSchizophrenia, with different pros and cons of the diagnosis and related disorders going back and forth, which is probably why it\\\'s gotten so long. And just having the TheOtherWiki\\\'s link in lieu of all this ensures that, if anyone wants to know the details, they\\\'re likely to get the latest updates on the topic.
