Ah, but herr Doctor, that is assuming he doesn't ACTUALLY have the other beings controling him exactly as he said, which should still be taken into consideration.
Disassociative Personality Disorder is a biased name. It presumes some event in the past caused you to disassociate actions with yourself, such as dramatic trauma via parental abuse, or some other situation of the sort.
That leaves out... other possibilities. Because of this, you'd actually have to KNOW what happened to cause such a disorder to classify it as such, and more terms would have to be invented for situations that WEREN'T caused by disassociation of such a sort. This is why I like Multiple Personality Disorder/Syndrome better for desciribing the phenominon, though PERSONA, not Personality would be a better term, or else various problems with mood swings and sudden differences in oppinions without the concious shift of association of who the person actually is by said person.
And yes, sadly people do not understand what Schizophrenia actually is. While people do tend to give names to the voices they are hearing, much of the time, they are never thought to actually take over the body, but rather control them through "annoying them enough" to cause them to make such a decision, because they can't think properly, and it seems to be something they want to do, eventually. The reason people are so confused as to what the term actually means would be pop culture, mixed with poor research. Hopefully, some time in the future, the public thought of it will cease to be erronious.
