it is quite common for people with dissociative Identity disorder to have memory problems or as you call it lost time.

though there is now a dissociative disorder that takes into consideration those that have alternate personalities where they dont have memory problems associated with when alters take control....OSDD (Other Specified Dissociative Disorder)

you can read more about what american treatment providers are now going by in regards to the dissociative disorders here....

please know that other locations, race, religions, cultures...may be going by other standards.
