The correct answer is dissociative identity disorder.

Dissociative identity disorder (DID) refers to a disorder in which two or more distinct personality states or identities are found in a person. These identities are enduring and appear to "be in control" of the person. People suffering from DID experience significant memory loss when their "second" personality or identity take over. DID is most common in individuals who have suffered from childhood trauma, and it serves as a way to forget about and cope with the trauma.
