These people are very wary of others, to the point that they become isolated for fear that others want to harm them in some way. Personality disorders do not respond to psychiatric medications as readily as psychotic disorders do, and in many cases, particularly in paranoid personalty disorder, if the sufferer is in therapy it takes months or years for them to really begin to build trust in a therapist, and they are constantly analyzing everything the therapist says or does, looking for any reason not to trust the therapist anymore.

Famous cases include Eve and Sybil, although most every media case has come under scrutiny and their therapists shown to use bad reporting and dubious practices. Multiples, those people who share a body, do not have split personalities or multiple personality disorder, as they do not meet the diagnostic criteria and are self-aware, not fragments or copies.
