Merriam-Webster Dictionary
Definition of schizophrenia
medical : a mental illnessthat is characterized by
disturbances in thought (suchas delusions),
perception (such as hallucinations),
and behavior (such as disorganized speechor catatonic behavior),
by a loss of emotional responsiveness and extreme apathy,
and by noticeable deterioration in the level of functioning in everyday life
NOTE:
Schizophrenia often involves an inability to orient oneself with reality,
a withdrawal from social interactions,
and a failure to integrate thoughts with emotions
so that emotional expression is inappropriate.
There are several subtypes of schizophrenia,
including paranoid schizophrenia
and those types marked by catatonia or hebephrenia.
Common Errors In English Usage Dictionary
SCHIZOPHRENIC
In popular usage, “schizophrenic”
(and the more slangy and now dated “schizoid")
indicates “split between two attitudes.”
This drives people with training in psychiatry crazy.
“Schizo-” does indeed mean “split,”
but it is used here to mean “split off from reality.”
Someone with a Jekyll-and-Hyde personality
is suffering from “multiple personality disorder”
(or, more recently “dissociative identitydisorder”),
not “schizophrenia."
