Mental disorder or mental illness has long been associated with violent behaviour. Personality disorder is a form of mental illness and is more susceptible among individuals with traumatic childhood experience. This article will base the discussion on dissociative identity disorder (DID). The aim of the study is to investigate symptoms and factors which will help to predict violent behaviour among individuals with DID. The study makes use of a descriptive approach which relates the argument with past research. Case analysis is included in this study to better illustrate the occurrence of DID. The results show that violence among individuals suffering from mental disorders is heavily connected with the use of substances such as drugs and alcohol and the painful and traumatic memories from childhood.
