Neurotransmitter-stress syndrome
- Neurotransmitter-stress syndrome
-
Neurotransmitter-stress syndrome is the proposed name by mental health professionals in the United States to replace schizophrenia. The rationale for changing the name of schizophrenia to Neurotransmitter-stress syndrome is to prevent stigma and mispreceptions regarding the nature of the mental disorder.[1]
Concept
Layman language uses the term "schizophrenic" loosely, such as economists referring to economy as being schizophrenic. The media pushes the notion that schizophrenia means a split personality, for instance hollywood movies like Me, Myself and Irene perpetuate this misconception. The careless misusage of the term schizophrenia has been discouraged and written about by professionals.[2]
