Schizophrenia means split personality to most laymen and does not correctly describe what this illness is. In addition there are too many subtypes which could easily fall into the catagories of separate illnesses. Disorganized,Catatonic,Paranoid and my sons type which is Undifferentiated Schizophrenia which is a confused description to say the least.
When an employer looks at a job application where illnesses listed are schizophrenia etc. what chance does that human being have of getting the job against another?
