Is DID a neurological disorder?

Q: Is Dissociative Identity Disorder a neurological disorder? - Anon

A: At this time Dissociative Identity Disorder does not appear to be caused by neurological damage (such as brain injury), nor does it appear to cause neurological damage/changes (such as lesions or tumors). As new advances in neurological imaging, such as SPECT scans, continue to evolve it may become possible to differentiate alters or to differentiate dissociatives from non-dissociatives. For the most part, the brain has a preferred mapping for where it stores general abilities/task centers, and this is not expected to vary due to DID. Therefore, Dissociative Identity Disorder is a psychological disorder because it appears to be caused by psychological trauma.
