You probably meant M.P.D. (multiple-personality disorder). Schizopharnia
is a completely different thing and much more common. MPD is very, very
rare, but recent pop culture likes to portray it a lot.

That's not true: Hebrew and Arabic are written RTL while Math and Latin
Languages are written LTR. There is a historical reason why this is the
case (for right-handed people it is easier to write on stone from right to
left, and with ink in the opposite direction), but now when there are
non-leaky pens, pencils and computers there's no reason to prefer one
direction on the other. So we keep the traditional one.
