Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dissociative identity disorder (previously known as multiple personality disorder) is sometimes mistaken for schizophrenia because individuals with this disorder can also experience auditory hallucinations and delusions. However, dissociative identity disorder involves a fragmentation of identity rather than a distortion of reality as seen in schizophrenia. The other disorders listed (obsessive compulsive disorder, major depressive disorder, and panic disorder) may share some symptoms with schizophrenia but are typically not mistaken for it.
