Yes I believe that's correct.

Technically yes. But advocates are moving away from calling a person by their disease. For instance saying, "He has schizophrenia." rather than "He is schizophrenic." The reason for this is that often people with severe mental illness identify themselves by a diagnosis rather than there many other qualities.
-
yes but usually a person who has schizophrenia does not recognize it or when they get diagnosed they dont think they have it and the doctor is crazy
-
Yes.

"Namaste" has already answered correctly. Never the less most mental illnesses have been over stigmatized in the past, therefore now mental illness specialists call Bipolar and Bordeline as disorders. Schizophrenia is called a personality disorder, when specialists speak within their professional areas they will call the patient schizophrenic but will never address the patient as such. Regards.

Yes definately. No hang on, I dont think so.

That's right...

imagine overhearing at the nursing station that you're the "terminal brain tumor in room 14". doesn't somehow seem very respectful of the human being underneath the medical illness. so, as Namaste said, patient advocates have been, quite successfully I might add, trying to get health care professionals to use the medical term and refer to patients in a more humane manner. So, over the previous 125 years, someone with schizophrenia would be called schizophrenic, today, it is more politically correct to say something like, "George, who suffers from schizophrenia." Healthcare professionals, like everyone, take some time getting into a new habit and referring always to patients in a respectful manner.
