Dissociative Identity Disorder and Schizophrenia?

Is is possible to have both disorders at the same time? For example is it possible to be diagnosed with both paranoid schizophrenia and dissociative identiy disorder? In the movie Hide and Seek did Robert DeNiro (David Callaway/Charlie)suffer from both paranoid schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorder?

I remember that movie :D

Yes, you can. There is nothing about either one that assumes they cannot co-exist.
I don't know how much you know about schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorder, but there is a common misconception that schizophrenia has something to do with multiple personalities, but this isn't the case. They are two separate disorders.

I don't know what would happen though, exactly. Would all personalities have schizophrenia? I am not sure.
:D

As for Robert DeNiro... He most definitely has DID, but as for schizophrenia... I can't say for sure. He was most definitely psychotic, though!

yes I think it is, u can suffer from many different disorders at once from what I know about it anyway
