"精神分裂病" meaning in Japanese

See 精神分裂病 in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [se̞ːɕim bɯ̟̃n̺ɾe̞t͡sɨ bʲo̞ː] Forms: 精神分裂病 [canonical] (ruby: (せい), (しん), (ぶん), (れつ), (びょう)), seishin bunretsu byō [romanization], 精神分裂病 [alternative, kanji, kyūjitai]
Etymology: Compound of 精神 (seishin, “mind, intellect; psyche”) + 分裂 (bunretsu, “split; break apart”) + 病 (byō, “disease, sickness, illness”). Coined in Japan in the Meiji period as a calque of German Schizophrenie. The Japanese term 精神 (seishin, “mind”) has overtones of reason or intellect in ordinary use, leading historically to some confusion regarding this diagnosis, as persons with schizophrenia do not necessarily exhibit any breakdown of intellect. The misnomer nature of this word, as well as the stigma associated with this pejorative term, ultimately led the Japanese Society of Psychiatry and Neurology to formally relabel the disease in 2002 as 統合失調症 (tōgō shitchō shō, literally “comprehensive disharmony/imbalance disorder”), a name alluding to the biopsychosocial model of mental illnesses.
