Hi


I understand your concern.

split personality is dissociative disorder means dissociation occur from self and replaced by another identity with same kind of features that have you mentioned in your query.

Sudden crying and change in voice are suggestive dissociative phenomena.

Need to evaluate properly so consult psychiatrist and get help.

It can be treated with varieties of modality depend upon presentations.

Still have query then feel free to ask.
