Is it split personality or schizophrenia?

I just watched the first season. It's great. The male protagonist's psychological portrayal is delicate and perfect.

The rhythm of the plot is not very fast, but suspense has emerged from the first episode. There is always a strange feeling of not being able to say the specific reason. It seems to be reality and it seems to be separated from reality.

The title of the play is Mr Robot, but Mr Robot is not the hero? This in itself is a suspense.

When I saw the end of the second episode, it was basically determined that the male protagonist had schizophrenia or split personality, because Mr. Robot, who had been communicating with him with the same title, was the same as the father he recalled.

And the hero's father has passed away, so Mr. Robot is either an illusion or the hero's second personality. Judging from the title of the play, I bet on the second personality.

The following plot gradually became very clear. Mr. Robot was somewhat independent of the intersection of the hero and others, which basically confirmed that Robot was the second personality of the hero. The form of realization is Mr. Robot, in fact he is still the hero in the eyes of the other party.

In the later plot, I recall that the shop where the hero's father used to be Mr Robot. In this episode, we can also see the character of the hero's father. In fact, it is not very similar to the hero's second personality.

The second personality looks the same as the father, but it distorts the father's character, and the male protagonist’s series of conspiracy theories, forgetting his sister, etc. It also shows that the male protagonist also has schizophrenia.

Split personality is very common with schizophrenia. Coupled with his long-term drug use and withdrawn personality, it is estimated that it is difficult to not have schizophrenia, but the situation of split personality is rare.

Judging from the plot of this season, the male protagonist has only two personalities, everyone except Mr. Robot is real, and the younger sister is also real, especially emphasized.

Okay, let's go to the second season.
