Foote B, Park J. Dissociative identity disorder and schizophrenia: differential diagnosis and theoretical issues. Curr Psychiatry Rep. 2008;10(3):217–222.
What I have come to understand is that many people tend to either mix up schizophrenia with DID, or even think they are both one and the same, just different terms being used. What many people do not know is that DID is a trauma-based disorder, while schizophrenia is a genetically based psychotic disorder. There are, however, a variety of factors both disorders have in common, such as hearing voices potentially, for example. This article does and excellent job at explaining the similarities and differences of the two disorders mentioned.
