      Honestly, it’s what I read was the correct term when I googled multiple personality. Dissociative Identity Disorder. I just remembered schizophrenia isn’t that, it’s hearing voices, maybe hallucinating, being separated from reality, but you’re still one you.

        The correct term is Dissociative Identity Disorder. Schizophrenia means split mind in Greek, but was never used to mean the patient acted as though they were different individuals. Just that there were other split portions of their mind interacting with the patient.
