A split personality is a psychiatric disorder that causes the sufferer's personality to divide into sub personalities, also known as alters.The alters have their own memory, and don't know of each other's existence.The development of multiple personality syndrome(MPS) is usuallly caused of severe abuse.Split personality is more of identity disorder rather than personality disorder.MPS is very rare, so not much research is done on it.And split personality is not schizophrenia.They are two very different things although always assume to be the same or similar.The most common form of schizophrenia is when the person things he is being controlled by another mind or "hearing voices".It is believed that schizophrenia is caused by genetic defects triggered by stress factors like depression, the death of a dear person, or other experiences that are hard to cope with.So don't go around telling people you have a split personality when you don't even know what it means.
