Well, in terms of over-intellectualized interpretations that actually make sense, you certainly took the cake with this one.

Did Gollum have schizophrenia or multiple personality disorder?

A precious case from Middle Earth.

"Sméagol (Gollum) is a single, 587 year old, hobbit-like male of no fixed abode. He has presented with antisocial behaviour, increasing aggression, and preoccupation with the "one ring."... ...His forensic history consists of Deagol's murder and the attempted murder of Samwise Gamgee. He has no history of substance misuse, although like many young hobbits he smoked "pipe weed" in adolescence. Sméagol has forgotten many memories of his childhood, and we have limited collateral history on his premorbid personality. Before obtaining the ring he was an inquisitive child with odd interests, who enjoyed causing mischief and solitary activities such as burrowing under trees to look at roots. He dislikes himself, stale raw fish, and "hobbitses."

Several differential diagnoses need to be considered, and we should exclude organic causes for his symptoms. A space occupying lesion such as a brain tumour is unlikely as his symptoms are long standing. Gollum's diet is extremely limited, consisting only of raw fish. Vitamin B-12 deficiency may cause irritability, delusions, and paranoia. His reduced appetite and loss of hair and weight may be associated with iron deficiency anaemia. He is hypervigilant and does not seem to need much sleep. This, accompanied by his bulging eyes and weight loss, suggests hyperthyroidism. Gollum's dislike of sunlight may be due to the photosensitivity of porphyria. Attacks may be induced by starvation and accompanied by paranoid psychosis.

An internet search found over 1300 sites discussing the nature of Gollum's "mental illness." We asked 30 randomly selected medical students if they thought Gollum had a mental illness. Schizophrenia was the most common diagnosis (25 students), followed by multiple personality disorder (three). On initial consideration schizophrenia seems a reasonable diagnosis. However, in the context of the culture at the time it is unlikely. Delusions are false, unshakeable beliefs, not in keeping with the patient's culture. In Middle Earth, the power of the ring is a reality. The passivity phenomena Gollum experiences are caused by the ring, and these symptoms occur in all ring bearers. Gollum does not fulfil the ICD-10 criteria for the diagnosis of schizophrenia...

...Gollum displays pervasive maladaptive behaviour that has been present since childhood with a persistent disease course. His odd interests and spiteful behaviour have led to difficulty in forming friendships and have caused distress to others. He fulfils seven of the nine criteria for schizoid personality disorder (ICD F60.1), and, if we must label Gollum's problems, we believe that this is the most likely diagnosis."

Did Gollum have schizophrenia or multiple personality disorder?

But did he actually had a friend that he killed for the ring? Or was that part of his imagination somehow? Was he alone at the river when he found the ring, and then kill the part of him that said "don't take it"?

Also even if he had some kind of brain tumour, maybe the ring delayed the progress for hundreds of years so it just slowly affected him more and more, but didn't kill him ever?

500 years from now:

"Do you want to go with me to the goat burning ceremony?"

But did he actually had a friend that he killed for the ring? Or was that part of his imagination somehow? Was he alone at the river when he found the ring, and then kill the part of him that said "don't take it"?

His relative Déagol found the ring in a river and then they started to fight over it. Enamored by the ring, Sméagol murdered him.

Also even if he had some kind of brain tumour, maybe the ring delayed the progress for hundreds of years so it just slowly affected him more and more, but didn't kill him ever?

Well, it was more like that the ring was his drug such as heroin, it kept him addicted all those years. It kept him alive, but it happened to cost him his sanity and looks, he even forgot his real name and became the despicable creature known as Gollum. He is the ultimately portrayal of what moral and spiritual corruption can do to someone. There is a fate worse than death...

I always thought that Déagol was inside his mind, like an "imaginary friend" from childhood because he was rejected and had no friends at all

And that Déagol was the kind of "moral part" of Gollum, and once he killed him he was released and able to go around without any remorse. And this was a side effect of the ring immediately because he already wanted that from before and the ring power took advantage of that 'need' to kill his moral side

He lived for more than 500 years, but mortals were not supposed to live that long at all. So even if he had a brain tumour or other illness, the power of the ring granted him enough life to go around no matter what, for hundreds of years. Slowly he kept dying anyway, since he didn't truly own that immortality power, this could also have been part of it, since the ring consumed his soul while keeping him alive so he could suffer more. Then from that, Gollum expelled energy from his soul that the ring consumed as well. Symbiotic stuff in a way
