"Thanks so much everyone. I'm not a fan of anti-psychotics either. They just don't work. Schizophrenia/DID--the docs can't explain the worlds I walk." Posted by Mick

The real difference I've found between schizophrenic voices and DID voices is where they come from. For me (I've experienced both) the schizo ones are external where as the DID ones are internal. You can be dx with schizo if you hear a voice that keeps a running dialog of all you do, which sometimes I find is more dissociative than schizo but that's just me.

Personally, I take meds for the severe, recurrent, treatment resistant depression with psychosis. It's when I get depressed that my angry other comes out and wants to kill us, thinking it would be better than the alternative of continuing to suffer. If the depression is under control I have more peace with the dissociative stuff.

Hope that helps.

Love and hugs,
