You seem to really not want people to confuse DID with schizophrenia, but why? Because DID suffers are innocent victims who deserve sympathy for their trauma while schizophrenics are just born mental and don't deserve such good treatment? You remind me of those people who get angry about type 1 and 2 diabetes. One is the sufferer's own fault and the other is innocent people who deserve to be seen as higher status.

> Because DID suffers are innocent victims who deserve sympathy for their trauma while schizophrenics are just born mental and don't deserve such good treatment? Search your mind for why that is the first thing you go to, because it was the farthest thing from mine. You don't know what goes on in our head or anyone else's and it would behoove you not to guess at such. Much less state outright that I remind you of a dichotomy in an unrelated disorder because of this projected line of thinking. > You seem to really not want people to confuse DID with schizophrenia, but why? Perhaps because, as stated, DID is not neurochemical and does not respond to medication. Perhaps it would be good to differentiate between the neurochemical and the neurological disorder to prevent people who don't need strong drugs from taking them and suffering unnecessary side effects, which is a VERY common thing in populations with DID because of the misunderstandings of the differences between DID and schizophrenia.
