Schizophrenia was a serious mental condition. The condition was often incorrectly generalized as being a "split personality" disorder; although one type of ailment can cause split personalities, there are many different types which cause different ailments, including a prolonged catatonic state.

James Wykoff believed Benny Russell displayed signs of schizophrenia after his admission to a psychiatric facility. (DS9 short story: "Isolation Ward 4")
