     Back in 1918, the way doctors understood schizophrenia was shaped   
     by early psychiatrists like Emil Kraepelin and Eugen Bleuler.   
      
     Kraepelin first called it "dementia praecox," focusing on its   
     early onset and worsening over time. Later, Bleuler came up   
     with the term "schizophrenia," highlighting the "splitting" of   
     mental functions (rather than a split personality). At that time,   
     the illness was mainly seen through its psychotic symptoms like   
     hallucinations and delusions, but they also started to recognize   
     its broader impact on cognitive and social functions.
