The difference is this. OCD is caused by an imbalance in brain chemicals, which can be treated by medication and/or therapy (to deal with the emotional parts of it.
DID is ONLY caused by extreme trauma and abuse during childhood. ONLY. This has been studied and confirmed by experts in the field, and yes, I'd be happy to provide sources for that information.
It is not caused, ever, by brain chemical imbalances and cannot be cured by medication. It takes YEARS of painful therapy to make progress with DID.
Something like this is just like pointing and laughing at a disabled child in public. It's rude, and while some people might think it's fine to laugh, in reality it is NOT.
Raping and torturing children is NOT funny. Ever. And that is the ONLY cause of DID...childhood trauma.
