Schizophrenia, also known as multiple personality disorder, is a rare psychological disorder in which a person has two or more independent personality states. These personality states may have different gender, age, interests, and behavioral characteristics. Patients may exhibit different personalities in different situations, even alternating within a day. 1. Symptoms: (1) Dissociative amnesia: Under certain circumstances, patients may suddenly forget what happened before. This phenomenon is called "dissociative amnesia." (2) Dual personality: Patients may have two completely different personalities, such as a gentle and kind personality and a violent and cruel personality. (3) Identity conversion: Patients may switch from one personality to another without knowing it, and this switch usually occurs suddenly. (4) Memory loss: Patients may lose memory of each other between different personalities. (5) Difficulty in self-awareness: Patients may be confused about their identity and do not know who they are. 2. Reason: The exact cause of split personality is unknown, but research suggests it may be related to factors such as genetics, brain structural abnormalities, childhood trauma and stressful events. 3. Diagnosis:
Diagnosing schizotypal personality requires detailed psychological evaluation, interviews, and observations. Doctors will rule out other conditions that may cause similar symptoms, such as epilepsy, substance abuse, and mental development disorders. 4. Treatment: Treatment for schizophrenia usually involves medication and psychotherapy. Medication treatments mainly include antipsychotics, such as antidepressants, anxiolytics, and antipsychotics. Psychological treatments include cognitive behavioral therapy, family therapy and supportive psychotherapy. The goals of treatment are to help patients establish a stable personality, reduce symptoms, and improve quality of life. Schizophrenia, also known as multiple personality disorder or dissociative identity disorder, is a mental disorder in which patients have two or more separate personality states. These personalities may have different genders, ages, behavior patterns, and memories. In someone with a schizophrenia, you may see a completely different pattern of behavior. They may suddenly go from being a calm, rational person to someone who is emotionally agitated and acting out of control. They may forget what they did at a certain point or have no idea where they are. They may have intense fears and overreact to certain things or situations. These personalities may alternate or exist simultaneously. They may have their own names, ages and memories. For example, a person might have a persona named "Amy" who is the image of a little girl who likes to play and draw, and a person named "Tom" who is the image of an adult man with adult human thinking and behavior. Switches between these personalities can be sudden and without warning. This shift can be confusing and scary for patients, who may not understand why they suddenly changed their attitudes or behaviors. People with schizophrenia often suffer from severe psychological stress and may feel alone, fearful, and helpless. They may have suicidal thoughts or attempt suicide. Therefore, in addition to drug treatment, psychological counseling and social support are needed for the treatment of split personality.
