That's not multiple personality disorder, it's just being non social and a bit obsessed. If they had split personalities, they would believe they were the video game character, would give him a rounded personality, and would probably not remember being him afterwards. And to answer your initial question, MPD isn't an indicator of an illness, it is one all by itself.
IT IS NOT an indicator of schizophrenia or dementia. They are seperate disorders, and schizophrenic people do not have multiple personalities.
United States Presidential Dilusional Disorder. You could be describing G W Bush.
you are actually describing a paranoid delusional schitzephrenia with meglamanic tendencies. Again, sounds like GW Bush.
I would highly recommend you contact a Dr. and soon, When dealing with mental illness a wrong guess could be deadly to the person or persons who are involved. I wish you the best of luck.
Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) has yet again gone through another evolution. Many in the psychiatric field dispute the validity of one person having "multiple personalities", rather they theorize that a dissociation occurs caused by early trauma. The condition is thus referred to as DIssociative Identity Disorder (DID).
Dissociation is a mental process, which produces a lack of connection in a person's thoughts, memories, feelings, actions, or sense of identity. During the period of time when a person is dissociating, certain information is not associated with other information as it normally would be. For example, during a traumatic experience, a person may dissociate the memory of the place and circumstances of the trauma from his ongoing memory, resulting in a temporary mental escape from the fear and pain of the trauma and, in some cases, a memory gap surrounding the experience. Because this process can produce changes in memory, people who frequently dissociate often find their senses of personal history and identity are affected.
Most clinicians believe that dissociation exists on a continuum of severity. This continuum reflects a wide range of experiences and/or symptoms. At one end are mild dissociative experiences common to most people, such as daydreaming, highway hypnosis, or "getting lost" in a book, video game or movie, all of which involve "losing touch" with conscious awareness of one's immediate surroundings. At the other extreme is complex, chronic dissociation, such as in cases of Dissociative Disorders, which may result in serious impairment or inability to function. Some people with Dissociative Disorders can hold highly responsible jobs, contributing to society in a variety of professions, the arts, and public service -- appearing to function normally to coworkers, neighbors, and others with whom they interact daily.
