Having multiple personalities or identities is not, per se, a disorder in itself. It requires dissociation and a lack of control of your personality to be a disorder.

Technically, to qualify as a psychological disorder it must cause a disadvantage to the sufferer.

So, eg, if DID causes memory compartmentalization, that is a disadvantage so that alone can qualify DID as a disorder.
