You learn something every day. That phrase is certainly the case this morning when I was doing a little bit of research about Schizophrenia. The first thing I discovered was that schizophrenia is not actually a split personality disorder. This shocked me, as the common perception of the general public is exactly that.
Infact, Dissociative Identity Disorder is actually when you have two people in your head. Who are basically independent of one another. The symptoms of both conditions are similar, but it didn’t fill me with confidence of the condition when Wikipedia states ‘DID is diagnosed significantly more frequently in North America than in the rest of the world’.
