Yeah he definitely has DID because I came looking for a manga that covers it by searching the multiple personality tag lol
That's not really how DID works, in DID there has to be the presence of another identity or personality state (alter.) Also, people with DID don't necessarily have amnesia when they shift. What he may have is Dissociative Amnesia.
Not necessarily true. When they switched from multiple personality disorder to DID they changed things up.
It is most definitely a dissociative disorder.

Symptoms and signs of dissociative disorders include:
Significant memory loss of specific times, people and events
Out-of-body experiences, such as feeling as though you are watching a movie of yourself
Mental health problems such as depression, anxiety and thoughts of suicide
A sense of detachment from your emotions, or emotional numbness
A lack of a sense of self-identity
I think he DOES have an alter...it is the version of himself with all the memories. He was sectioning it off to others to erase the memories. Not unheard of in some DID cases.
Then again, he might just be a test case for a new type of dissociative disorder, but he's not a liar, he has a mental illness. Which was my whole point anyway.
I don't think it's DID though
People say that he is lying, always lied, or so forth. But that is wrong. He has dissociative identity disorder instead of creating an alternate personality he chooses to forget the bad things. Everything bad that hurts him gets overwritten.
A fight with his lover gets erased but in turn he doesn't understand why they no longer talk and instead fade away. This is because he forgot the fight and thus cannot make up with his lover.
He becomes a prostitute for women but he forgets all about it afterwards and just takes the money.
He lives life as if he was drifting from one happy moment to the next editing out all of the bad things. It may not even be a conscious choice, just something bad happens and he wishes he could forget the bad thing and he does.
The one weird thing to me is how he suddenly remembers everything. Usually a patient would need years of therapy to achieve that.
