Probably not. None of the psychiatric testimony given at his trial includes any mention of schizophrenia. His unique combination of pathologies does not fit any specific classification. Abigail Strubel at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, writes that Dahmer,

"...may have suffered from a combination of paraphilias, depression, substance dependence, Asperger's Disorder, disordered personality, and social skills deficits."

What were mental illnesses of Jeffery Dahmer?

Most people, apon hearing about the crimes of Jeffrey Dahmer, think that he must be crazy. He actually was not. Mental illness is not the same as a personality disorder, which is what Dahmer had. Simply put, it was his personality. Personality in humans developes in early childhood. It seems to be a mixture of heredity and environmental. This is true for every human. By the time little Jeffrey was ready for school his personality had already formed to a great degree. It is true that sociopaths quite often have a parent that has sociopathic tendences. Dahmer was no exception. Lionel Dahmer (Jeff's father) confessed to having violent fantacies as a young man. His mother may have had mental health issues. In conclusion, Dahmer was not mentally ill, but he most certainly was not normal. What is amazing is the fact that Jeffrey's younger brother came from the same 'gene pool' and environment and he is a completely functioning person, he leads a normal life. So how can that be? It may have to do with how internal and external events are perceived by the individuals involved. Jeff and his brother may have perceived the same situations differently. What is known about the human brain is in it's infancy even now in the 21st century.
