What is the difference between schizophrenia and Dissociative Identity Disorder?

How do you get them, or treat them or diagnos them? i swear by the Lord himself i seriously, literally just developed or created one of these today in my math class. i must have blown a fuze, because i nearly went berserk... also

Hun,

Have you been getting a proper amount of sleep? Are you under a lot of stress? Sometimes people's brains go a bit wacky if they aren't sleeping enough or caring for themselves properly or just stressed out. There have been studies that show that a 'normal' person will start to hallucinate after about 3 days without sleep.

If you are concerned, I would suggest speaking with a teacher or the school counselor about your experience. They might be able to give you some guidance and help and determine if you should see your doctor for further support.

Schizophrenia and DID are quite different. Schizophrenia is just one diagnosis that includes hallucinations and delusions. DID is created due to horrible abuse when a child was very little. They are both serious mental illnesses that do need treatment. Neither one can be diagnosed via x-rays though.

Please take care and seek out a teacher, school counselor, or a parent to talk this out with.

Hi,I just wanted to let you know that schizophrenia and DID are two different diagnosis.A person who has DID developed it,as a result of a very traumatic childhood,a person can not crreate alters unless they were multiples already,as further splitting is possible when under extreme stressful and trauamtic events.I think you might just not like math class and you find it boring,sometimes a person daydreams when they are bored,this is normal for anyone to do.

you usually have it all your life . but sometimes you dont showsymptoms for it for a long time. they can diagnos through xrays on your brain. or more commonly therapy. you can get medication. i hope you getbetter !
