Yes, it's possible for someone with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) to have alters (distinct personalities) with different characteristics, which might include traits that resemble symptoms of schizophrenia. However, this doesn't mean that the person actually has schizophrenia. DID and schizophrenia are separate mental health conditions with distinct diagnostic criteria. It's important to consult with mental health professionals for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.


Is it possible for someone to exhibit a majority of the symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder yet not have the condition?

Since narcissistic personality disorder is diagnosed symptomatically, a person with that disorder would exhibit a number of the symptoms. Given the nature of the symptoms, a person showing a majority of them would almost certainly be diagnosed. Note: Diagnosis of emotional issues in people close to us is fraught with chances for misinterpretation. We are too emotionally involved ourselves to make careful, objective assessments. Only a series of interviews with a mental health professional would result in an truly accurate diagnosis. (That is not to say that you are incorrect.)


Are dual disorders possible such as narcissism and bipolar?

Yes. I have been to see a psychologist for help with my 69 year old mother-in-law, who, according to my husband, was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in the 80's.

Without seeing my MIL personally, but hearing about her total lack of boundaries and abusive history with her own children and what she has subjected me to, she believes she is suffering from borderline/narcissistic personality disorder.
