What is split personality problem?

Split personality is actually a personality disorder, which usually manifests itself in loneliness, silence, lack of social interaction or unsociability. This disease may sometimes appear in early childhood, so parents should pay attention to observe their children's performance in life.

1. Schizotypal personality disorder is a personality disorder characterized by peculiar ideas , appearance, and behavior, obvious defects in interpersonal relationships, and emotional coldness. This type of people are generally lonely, silent, reclusive, do not like interpersonal communication, and are not sociable. He has few friends and seldom participates in social activities, seeming to be isolated from the world. Often daydreaming and indulging in fantasy. This type of people can adapt to a work environment with fewer people, but find it difficult to adapt to a unit or environment with a large number of people or to work that requires social interaction.

2. To diagnose a person with personality disorder as schizoid, three of the following items must be met : ① strange beliefs and ideas, or behaviors that are inconsistent with the cultural background, such as belief in clairvoyance and telepathy; ② strange, abnormal or special behaviors or appearances, such as strange clothing, unkempt appearance, inappropriate behavior, uncustomary or unclear purpose. ③ Strange speech, such as going off topic, inappropriate wording, inappropriate complexity and simplicity, and unclear expression of meaning; ④ Unusual perceptual experiences, such as hallucinations and seeing non-existent people; ⑤ Being cold to people, even to family members, and lacking warmth and consideration for others; ⑥ Having an indifferent expression and lacking strong or vivid emotions; ⑦ Almost acting alone, and actively interacting with people is limited to necessary contacts in life or work, and there are no close friends or confidants except primary relatives.

3. Its symptoms often begin to appear in childhood , or at least become noticeable in adolescence. If there are no characteristics or evidence of personality disorder before adulthood, it cannot be diagnosed as a personality disorder (personality pathology that begins to appear after adulthood is called personality change). In addition, since the younger the age, the greater the plasticity of personality, personality disorder is not diagnosed before the age of 18.

4. The formation of schizoid personality disorder is generally closely related to a person's early psychological development. After a human individual is born, he or she cannot be independent for a long period of time and needs the care of his or her parents. In this process, the relationship between the child and the parents occupies an important position. It is in the relationship with the parents that the child establishes his or her early personality. Although every child will inevitably be criticized during the process of growing up, as long as he feels that there are people around him who love him, he will not have any psychological deviation. But if children are constantly scolded and criticized and do not receive love from their parents, they will feel that they are worthless. Furthermore, if parents are unfair to their children, it will cause the children's sense of right and wrong to be unstable, and they will develop psychological anxiety and hostility. Some children will become separated, independent, and avoid physical and emotional contact with their parents, and then avoid contact with other people and things, which will easily lead to the development of a schizoid personality.
