The symptoms described are consistent with dissociative identity disorder (formerly known as multiple personality disorder), which is characterized by the presence of two or more distinct personality states that recurrently take control of the individual's behavior. This disorder often arises as a result of trauma or abuse and is associated with disruptions in memory, consciousness, and identity. Schizoid personality disorder is characterized by a lack of interest in social relationships, disinterest in close relationships, and emotional coldness. Disorganized schizophrenia is a type of schizophrenia characterized by disorganized behavior and speech, flat or inappropriate affect, and disorganized thought process. Bipolar affective disorder is a mood disorder characterized by episodes of mania and depression. None of these disorders fully fit the symptoms described in the question.
