How do you know if you have a predisposition of Schizophrenia?
You may have a predisposition towards schizophrenia if someone in your close family has or had schizophrenia, if you are a fantasy-prone person, if you do not have much need for a social life, or if you often find yourself believing in strange or fantastical things.

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.
