Schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorder are often confused, but they are very different. Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness involving chronic (or recurrent) psychosis, characterized mainly by hearing or seeing things that aren't real (hallucinations) and thinking or believing things with no basis in reality (delusions). People with schizophrenia do not have multiple personalities. Delusions are the most common psychotic symptom in schizophrenia; hallucinations, particularly hearing voices, are apparent in about half of people.

Schizophrenia’s Voices: The Strength to Say No. How difficult it must be when living with schizophrenia to try and tune out the hallucinations and delusions...even with antipsychotic medications.
Paranoid type schizophrenia is a mental illness that involves false beliefs of being persecuted or plotted against.

Schizophrenia can be treated. Seek help! People with schizophrenia have visual, auditory, tactile hallucinations or delusions. Hallucinations and delusions can also effect the senses of smell and taste. Often those with the paranoid type are difficult to treat due to thier paranoia of other and medications. Medication complicance and in the State of California no one can be forced to take medication.
