The technical diagnosis for one who is suffering from a split personality is dissociative identity disorder (DID). It used to be multiple personality disorder but this was changed in the latest edition of the DSM (the book psychologists use to diagnose patients).
Split personality/DID/multiple personality is **NOT** schizophrenia. They are very distinct diagnoses.

Schizophrenia does not mean; split personality or multiple personality. This unfortunately has been a case of misinformation usually touted by the TV.

A person that is living a life based entirely on the physical pleasures of the body, self centered and self serving is denying the spiritual side of himself.
We are are split personalities.
One the physical man.
The other the spiritual man.
The conflicts in our lives are often battles between these two entities of ourselves.

Multiple personality disorder.
Schizophrenia used to be what they called it, but that isn't the definition of Schizophrenia any longer.

It evolved into MPD (multiple personality disorder) but then refined it into Dissociative Identity Disorder.
