Scitzophrenia: what type is this ?!


Question:

Scitzophrenia: what type is this ?

i once saw on a progamme a woman who had killed her brother but had thought it was someone else because she saw herself killing him in the mirror and because she had some type of disorder she thought it was someone else because she thought she looked different.

can anybody help me and tell me what this disorder could be?


Answers:

I would say that it isn't schizophrenia at all. There are four types: paranoid, catatonic, disorganized, and what they refer to as "undifferentiated". In my opinion, it sounds like none of the above. It could possibly be multiple personality disorder, although this is extremely rare and difficult to diagnose. I would say that she was just trying to play the "mentally ill" card to get out of trouble. Lots of people do it because they don't realize that it is relatively easy for a trained psychologist or psychiatrist to do testing that shows they are faking.
