Integration disorder

Introduction

Overview

Overview

Tōgō-shitchō-shō (統合失調症) or integration disorder is a Japanese psychiatric diagnosis that replaced the previous diagnostic category of Seishin Bunretsu Byo (“mind-split-disease”) which was equivalent to the DSM-IV or ICD-10 diagnosis of schizophrenia.

The new term was created and became established in 2002 by the Japanese Society of Psychiatry and Neurology who wished to avoid the ambiguity of the old term, encompass recent advances in schizophrenia research, and move on from the stigma that had become associated with the schizophrenia diagnosis.[1]
