[B7L] Schizophrenia [was Re: Unlikely lust objects]

So the fact that they presented Gul Dukat (and other Cardassians) in this very schizophrenic way appeals to me-- in my experience, the same person *can* incorporate very evil and very good aspects in their personalities, and often divorce the two in very schizophrenic ways.

Um, I think it's quite possible that Dukat was schizophrenic, going by the scenes in Waltz (if I mean Waltz - I'm hopeless on non-B7 episode titles) where he hears voices, argues with hallucinations etc. But schizophrenia is not split personality (this was drummed into me as a child by my mother, who was then a psychiatric social worker) and I would prefer it if the two weren't confused.
