Thank you pegasus. I value any response from you, you are a very kind and intelligent user on this site and i greatly appreciate your response.

What i have been told over the years is that schizophrenia is inherited and a physical condition, that can not necessarily coincide with DID, however, the mental health field changes with new technology and scientists that things that were once believed are now completely disreguarded with new information. Look how far the knowledge of DID has come just in the last 10 or so years. This is a large reason for my thread and you have greatly helped with that. My current t continues to say that i would be schizophrenic if i were not DID, he hasnt come out directly and said it had to be one or the other but he continuously says that my symptoms are so similar to schizophrenia that had he not known i was DID, he would be sure i was schizo.
past pdocs and therapists always go back and forth, when they rule out schizophrenia is when the claim it to be DID, when they rule out DID, its to title me schizophrenic and it always changes their game plan.

I just dont understand why they rule one out to diagnose the other. I get internal AND external voices (however the external are not as frequent, only the external talk to me directly, but never tell me to harm myself or others) i have visual hallucinations that range from very small to extreme hallucinations, often though mostly shadows, ive also experienced tactile hallucinations as well. I have blackouts, the first when i was 5 and experienced an incredibly trumatic event, and have been known to change my personality during these blackouts, dissociating frequently throughout the day often loosing time, typical did diagnosis criteria but i also have paranoia, dillusional thinking from time to time etc. Just because i have one thing does not mean i dont experience other symptoms of something else, however pdocs and ts always try to help one diagnosis and believe the one but not the other.

Is it possible that parts have schizophrenia and other parts do not?
