If schizophrenia and psychosis aren't multiple personality disorders, what is? |
I've been asked many times to define schizophrenia and i really honestly don't know. I asked my dad and he said psychosis is a multiple personality disorder. I honestly don't know, can you help? There are a "ton" of different psychoses. Type DSM IV TR into Yahoo! web search for a manual giving criteria for all disorders. "Schizophrenia" is not "split personality". Many schizophrenics (which is not a single disese but a spectrum of disorders) live a fairly normal productive life after the initial shock of onset and with TLC and Medications. Info on schizophrenia here: When a person has blocks of time which they are unable to account for, finds notes at home in a different handwriting (if single) and/or gets billed for things they don't remember purchasing, there is a good chance that they are suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder, formerly Multiple Personality Disorder, or, more commonly, split personality. Such people may have alters who even have a different sexual identity, or preference, but this doesn't occur with the other disorders. See schizophrenia, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris for the DSM4 classification, etc. Psychosis: This psychotic mental disorder is diagnosed when evidence indicates that delusions or hallucinations developed as the physiological result of a general medical illness which must be specified separately. Delusional and hallucinated subtyping indicates the predominant symptom. |
