can i ask a question about schizophrenia? It’s a normal thing that happens to everyone to feel things divided in their mind but who has schizophrenia thinks it’s a disease or who doesn’t have schizophrenia doesn’t feel things divided in their mind?

Thank you. so sorry can you help me understand if i got it right, people with schizophrenia don’t feel wrapped up separate parts in their mind as it happens to me wrapped up, present at the same time? I’d like to clarify with psychiatry but she’s not the type to talk about diagnosis and I have to go and ask her every time… next time I’ll try to ask her if you think I have dissociative personality disorder…

mental illness including hallucinatory/dissociative issues is normally quite unique from person to person.
look at the symptoms not the label… you’ll be quicker to find insight. adopt a label if it helps you contextualize things… really though mental illness is a largely foreign realm to the sciences. (and part of the problem there is the tendency to try and understand it via reduction instead of excruciating individualistic detail.)

I didn’t post that because I believe you have DID. I posted it for the split mind definition.

I can’t trust my psychiatrist, she’s right that I can’t trust 
If you mentally shift/split/disconnect, that can be a sign of Dissociative Disorder, Schizophrenia, or Psychosis (psychotic break from reality). I think these diagnostic constructs are closely related.
But yeah, you can ask for a specific diagnosis. Maybe that’ll help you trust your doctor. Schizophrenia actually means “split mind.”
