All the research seems to point to DID as a result of childhood trauma and abuse. Has anyone encountered this if the trauma took place in the early teen years? I think that the ability to separate one's self from the traumatic event and create a new identity that the trauma did not happen to for mental protection is able to be done at any age, but I am specifically wondering about a 14-year-old girl who was abused. Any information you may have come across is highly welcomed.
