Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) also known as Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) was changed to such because as people have become more aware of what this disorder truly means - there have been some major changes. 

When you hear the word personality you reflect upon the individual's actions, behavior, mood, etc. A patient with DID lacks one way of acting, they circulate throughout multiple personalities. 

A reason for changing this is to highlight that the problem is not multiple personalities, it's the fact they do not possess a unified one.

Hope this helps!

Why are men more prone to having kidney stones than women? How can an individual lower the risk of developing kidney stones? How
ElenaW [278]
<span>I do not know that there has been any reason discovered for why men are more prone to have kidney stones than females.  Some have suggested that diet may have something to do with this.  A high protein and high salt diet make kidney stones more likely.  Men tend to have a greater intake of both protein and salt.  As women started following diets such as the South Beach diet or Adkins diet, the incidence of kidney stones has been increasing in women over the past 20 years.  Obviously, there could be some contribution to female and male hormones, but this has never been proven.</span>
