Is schizophrenia consuidered a confusion of the personality?

Schizoph.: It is a thought disorder, not a personality disorder.

Schizophrenia: People sometimes think schizophrenia is "split personality." this is not true. Schizophrenia includes symptoms like hearing voices or other perceptual distortions, delusional thinking, flat affect, internal preoccupation, & other disordered thinking & perception. It is usually genetically inherited & can only be diagnosed by a professional. If concerned, see a psychiatrist or psychologist.
