Best Answer

Paul Eugen Bleuler first coined the term "Schizophrenia."

Schizophrenia means "split mind" from Greek terminology. This however does not refer to the person having one or more minds such as with Dissociative Personality Disorder. But refers to a split in the mind of the sufferer where their own personal reality is split from our own. Hence they are mostly or only aware of their personal reality, and not the universal reality the majority of us are aware of.
