We propose renaming schizophrenia to Positive and Negative Symptoms Disorder (PND) to reduce stigma, enhance clarity, and align with current diagnostic criteria. The term reflects core symptom domains, is translatable, ICD compatible, and avoids misleading associations. If cognitive deficits should be part of the name, it would be Positive, Negative, Cognitive Symptoms disorder. Stakeholder input and linguistic evaluation are essential for successful implementation and global acceptance.
