“Schizophrenia” comes from the Greek roots, skhizein (split) and phren- (mind).  Although the literal translation seems to be “split mind,” schizophrenia is not the same as dissociative identity disorder (AKA multiple personality or split personality disorder).  I just watched A Beautiful Mind, that movie with Russell Crowe playing the brilliant, schizophrenic John Nash.  The story is based off the life of the actual innovative economist and mathematician, however many of the details in the film weren’t entirely true. The one that really jumped out at me was the fact that the real John Nash claims to have never had visual hallucinations, only auditory ones.  If the film chose to go with only auditory hallucinations, I suppose a few of the actors wouldn’t have had jobs.  The brilliant economist strikes again.
