I don't see it as bad. What would suggest calling it?

> Now Manic Depression is called bipolar, so can we please(Medical Community) think of a name that is not so stigmatized. The news media seems to delight in using "Schizophrenia" for a catchall word for Criminally insane. Well they are all wrong. There are thousands of people with schizophrenia (including my son) who are leading fruitful productive and near normal lives.
> Please, can we think of another name for it. 1% of the population of the world will have it at some time in their lives. That's a lot of folks being ostracized. Proper treament minimizes the effects of this illness, now the medical community needs to work on getting rid of the bad name
