In 2002, the term for schizophrenia in Japan was changed from {{nihongo||精神分裂病|seishin-bunretsu-byō|lit. 'mind-split disease'}} to {{nihongo||統合失調症|tōgō-shitchō-shō|lit. 'integration–dysregulation syndrome'}} to reduce [[Social stigma|stigma]] and confusion with "multiple personalities".<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Yamaguchi S, Mizuno M, Ojio Y, Sawada U, Matsunaga A, Ando S, Koike S | title = Associations between renaming schizophrenia and stigma-related outcomes: A systematic review | journal = Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences | volume = 71 | issue = 6 | pages = 347–362 | date = June 2017 | pmid = 28177184 | doi = 10.1111/pcn.12510 | doi-access = free }}</ref> The new name, also interpreted as "integration disorder", was inspired by the biopsychosocial model.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Sato M | title = Renaming schizophrenia: a Japanese perspective | journal = World Psychiatry | volume = 5 | issue = 1 | pages = 53–55 | date = February 2006 | pmid = 16757998 | pmc = 1472254 }}</ref> A similar change was made in South Korea in 2012 to attunement disorder.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Park SC, Park YC | title = Korea in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition | journal = Journal of Korean Medical Science | volume = 35 | issue = 2 | pages = e6 | date = January 2020 | pmid = 31920014 | pmc = 6955430 | doi = 10.3346/jkms.2020.35.e6 | edition = Fifth }}</ref>

Stigma may prevent further research and treatment as in history treated some in the past invariably worse to recovery.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />
