What would a schizo, whose split thinks the same as the normal be called as?Are there any such?


Question:
Most movies, I havent met a real life schizo (or rather both sides of them) show a 2 different personalities.. mostly contrasting in thoughts.. ,
What would a person with like minded schizo - dual behave?

Answers:
A person with schizophrenia doesn't have dual personalities.

Schizophrenia is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a mental disorder characterized by impairments in the perception or expression of reality and by significant social or occupational dysfunction. A person experiencing untreated schizophrenia is typically characterized as demonstrating disorganized thinking, and as experiencing delusions or auditory hallucinations.

Despite its etymology, schizophrenia is not synonymous with dissociative identity disorder, also known as multiple personality disorder or "split personality"; in popular culture the two are often confused.

My husband's ex-wife suffers from it and she is delusional. She accused my husband of sleeping around on her and fathering at least 100 children.

Other Answers:
"Schizo" means schizophrenic which means that they hear voices and hallucinate.
What you describe sounds more like Dissociative Identity Disorder (AKA Multiple Personality Disorder). A person with multiple personality disorder will have more than one personality. Some of these may be normal and some may be weird but they are independent of each other. You cannot tell that a person has this with one meeting because you will only be seeing one personality. A person needs to be observed over time to see this.
They do not have split minds! You may see it in jokes and movies but it is not true, just a myth.
It would be BPD or DID if there was a split mind.
The Schitophrenic Society approves of one movie (a good one, too) that really shows what schitzophrenia is: A Beautiful Mind.

It is the closest to it.

It isn't multiple personality disorder or anything like that.
