Evaluation: Schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorder (did) are two completely different conditions. Even though schizophrenia means split mind-that really isn't what it is. Schizophrenia is a brain disease affecting 1% of the population and is characterized by psychosis which means hallucinations and/ or delusions. Did, which used to be called multiple personality disorder is very rare.

No definitive answer: There are many similarities in particular auditory hallucinations (hearing voices) and feeling disengaged from the world. If there is a history of trauma - especially if it began in childhood - can sometimes help to discriminate. The DES (dissociative experiences scale) is a test that can measure how often and to what degree one dissociates. A specialist in treating ptsd could help to determine.
