What will be an ideal response?
Schizophrenia was first defined over 100 years ago by Kraepelin and Bleuler. Kraepelin termed the disorder "dementia praecox" to highlight its pervasive disturbances of perceptual and cognitive faculties (dementia) and its early life onset (praecox) compared with the dementia of old age. Bleuler focused on four core symptoms of the disorder: ambivalence, disturbances of affect, disturbance of association, and preference for fantasy over reality. He renamed the disorder schizophrenia to highlight the splitting of thought, affect, and behavior.
