  Back in 1918, the way doctors understood schizophrenia was shaped
  by early psychiatrists like Emil Kraepelin and Eugen Bleuler.

  Kraepelin first called it "dementia praecox," focusing on its
  early onset and worsening over time. Later, Bleuler came up
  with the term "schizophrenia," highlighting the "splitting" of
  mental functions (rather than a split personality). At that time,
  the illness was mainly seen through its psychotic symptoms like
  hallucinations and delusions, but they also started to recognize
  its broader impact on cognitive and social functions.
