Well, for schizophrenia in particular, it's defining characteristic is that people don't perceive reality as it actually is, so no, I bet a lot of people don't know they have it. I do get your point, but I'm still of the mindset that it isn't as bad of an insult as a gendered or ablest term. As someone mentioned before, "cancerous" is a perfectly acceptable descriptive term, and saying something is "schizophrenic" is a pretty condensed way to say jumbled and without direction with undertones of abstract from reality. :\

da

If people don't know they have it and aren't seeking help, then that sucks, but I don't think many people are not seeking help because they know something is wrong but people are telling them they should just accept themselves the way they are. Not wanting something to be used as a slur =/= saying it's not negative.

As for the rest of it, I think there are way better ways to say that, especially considering all the ways in which people misunderstand the word schizophrenic already.

Or they just don't have access to health care and can't get the meds they need. Schizophrenia isn't like mood disorders, it's universally accepted as a serious mental illness, not a "state of mind" or whatever

You sound really ignorant TBH -- do you know how many people in the US are homeless because they have schizophrenia that goes undiagnosed?
