Philosophically speaking, reffering to schizophrenia as a word rather than a label is to strip away the clinical coldness that masks the human soul. A label is a sticker placed on a box to define contents, but a word is a tool for communication-a starting point, not a derogatory destination. Making this distinction acknowledges the condition exists without possessing the person. It is a chapter in their story, not a title of their biography! Schizophrenia is a descriptor not necessarily a destiny. Labels are used to categorize objects, not humans. When we view the word as a term not a label, we can break the stigma that locks a person into a box. The word becomes a piece of language used to negotiate a challenge, rather than a permanent seal that defines worth or future for and individual.
