No. In fact, multiple personality disorder is not what the disorder is called. Dissociative identity disorder is what most people call multiple personality disorder. It is a dissociative disorder characterized by the presence of two or more distinct patterns of behavior. There is actually little interference with the social, occupational, and education aspect of a person's life. Schizophrenia is a psychosis characterized by two or more of the following: delusions, hallucinations, disorders of thought, grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior, and negative symptoms. It interferes extremely with social, occupational, and educational aspects of one's life.

∙ 13y agoYes, they are the referring to the same disorder, however schizophrenia is the proper way to spell the disorder. Psychophrenia may be a less common or older way to spell the disorder, but it is not used in the literature today (as far as I know) and my guess is that it is just a misspelling.

What is the difference between schizoid and schizotypal?
There are many similarities between the Schizotypal and Schizoid personalities. Most notable of the similarities is the inability to initiate or maintain relationships (both friendly and romantic). The difference between the two seems to be that those labeled as Schizotypal avoid social interaction because of a deep-seated fear of people. The Schizoid individual simply feels no desire to form relationships, because they quite literally see no point in sharing their time with others. An important distinction is that people with Schizoid Personality don't typically experience the perceptual distortions, paranoia or illusions typical of Schizotypal Personality or the psychotic episodes of Schizophrenia.
