This case describes a twenty-eight-year-old female presented with the history of aggressive behavior, cursing, speaking foreign languages and display of extraordinary strength. The episodes lasted for 20-30 mins and would resolve spontaneously. The patient had a complete amnesia about the event. There was an episode every week. Due to stigma about seeing a psychiatrist in Pakistan, the patient?s family only took her to the faith healers that are readily available in the area. She presented to the hospital in the emergency department due to multiple burns inflicted by a spiritual healer. Psychiatric consultation made the diagnosis of Dissociative Identity Disorder. The patient was put on antipsychotics and psychotherapy and showed improvement in the course of illness.
