People who have schizophrenia, a serious mental health condition affecting how the brain processes information, causing hallucinations, delusions, or disorganized thinking.
From schizophrenia (from Greek schizein 'to split' + phrenos 'mind'), coined in 1911 by Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler to replace the older term 'dementia praecox.' The term describes the fragmentation of thought processes.
The original Greek name 'split mind' was actually misleading—schizophrenia isn't about multiple personalities (that's a different condition), but Bleuler's vivid terminology stuck despite being medically imprecise, showing how powerful early scientific naming can shape understanding for centuries.
