What illnesses cause split personalitys?
Well there is multiple personality disorder, which is when the person has multiple personalities obviously. They go into what they call their alters, so they have different personalities which they name. They actually seem like a different person, their is proof that when one is in their alter, they can have different hand writing and even different eye vision then in their original self. But there is also schizophrenia which is more like being delusional and far from reality, they don't have split personalities, they just go into a different world basically. Since people are not born with these disorders, researchers suspect that these are triggered by a traumatic event. For example a death of their child or sometimes when one is severely abused. I'm not saying anyone whose child has died or have been abused is going to get a mental disorder. So lets say someone was abused repeatedly for a long time, their brain can basically create another person to take the pain of their abuse and this is multiple personality disorder pretty much. So the illness would be multiple personality disorder and the symptoms would be the split personalities.

What other personality disorders have some characteristics of sociopathy?
Each personality disorder is classified into one of three "clusters": clusters A, B, or C. Cluster A is called the "eccentric" cluster, and it includes schizotypal, paranoid, and schizoid personality disorders. Cluster B is called the "dramatic" or "erratic" cluster, and it includes ASPD (another name for sociopathy), borderline, histrionic, and narcissistic personality disorder. Cluster C is called the "anxious" or "dependent" cluster, and it includes avoidant, dependent, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders. Cluster B is the one that shares the most characteristics with sociopathy. Borderline personality disorder is a disorder that is characterized by emotional instability. People with borderline generally are described as "childish", and they often feel as if they are victimized. Their emotional swings often resemble those of sociopathy. Histrionic personality disorder is characterized by attention seeking, including excess seduction, being the "life of the party" even if there isn't a party, and have quick mood swings (which is something that all of Cluster B has in common). This disorder is similar to sociopathy because of the need for all of the attention to be on them. Finally, we come to narcissistic personality disorder. Those with narcissistic personality disorder think of themselves as the greatest thing alive. They are bad at taking criticism in any way. They require constant attention, and they may lie to achieve their own goals. The main reason that those with narcissistic personality disorder resemble sociopaths, though, is because they feel little to no empathy. To sum that long answer up, borderline personality disorder resembles sociopathy because of its mood swings, histrionic personality disorder resembles sociopathy because of the attention-seeking, and narcissistic personality disorder resembles sociopathy because of the near or full lack of empathy.
Is codependency considered a personality disorder?
