    Etymology

    Compound of 統合 ‎(tōgō, “comprehensive”) +‎ 失調 ‎(shitchō, “disharmony, imbalance”, especially implying the loss of a previous harmony or balance) +‎ 症 ‎(shō, “disorder”).

    Coined in 2002 by the Japanese Society of Psychiatry and Neurology as a replacement for the older term 精神分裂病 ‎(seishin bunretsu byō, literally “mind/intellect split/break disease”), due to confusion regarding the term and the diagnosis. See 精神分裂病 for more.
