Overview
Historical Perspective
Schizophrenia the name comes from the Greek roots schizein (σχίζειν, "to split") and phrēn, phren- (φρήν, φρεν-, "mind"). Studies suggest that genetics, early environment, neurobiology and psychological and social processes are important contributory factors. Historically there was debate as to whether schizophrenia was in fact a single disorder or a combination of separate discrete psychiatric disorders. For this reason, Eugen Bleuler termed the disease the schizophrenias (plural) when he coined the name.
