Don't confuse Schizophrenia with 'multiple personality disorder'. the two are not the same. Schizophrenia can be described as dissociative disorder... where the sufferer may disconnect from reality. they hear things, see things, etc that aren't there.

The early signs of schizophrenia include deterioration of personal hygiene, forgetfulness, depression, inability to express sadness or joy, inappropriate laughter or crying, social withdrawal, oversleeping or insomnia and developing irrational suspicions. Schizophrenia is often confused with multiple/split personality disorder but they are two very different conditions and schizophrenia is far more common.

What are early signs of schizophrenia in children?
The behavior of children and teens with schizophrenia is different from that of adults with this illness. It is rare for symptoms to develop before age 12. Schizophrenic behavior develops gradually in children and may begin with children talking about strange fears or ideas. Early warning signs of schizophrenia in children include: * Trouble distinguishing dreams from reality * Confusing television or movies with reality * Seeing things and hearing voices that are not real * Confused thinking * Extreme moodiness * A belief that people are "out to get them" * Behaving younger than one's age * Severe anxiety and fearfulness * Severe problems in making and keeping friends Children with schizophrenia must have a complete evaluation. Parents should ask their family physician or pediatrician to refer them to a psychiatrist, preferably a child and adolescent psychiatrist, who is specifically trained and skilled at evaluating, diagnosing, and treating children with schizophrenia.
