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."
