Words shape attitudes. Saying “a person living with schizophrenia” puts people first, while labels like “schizophrenic” can be dehumanizing. Small language shifts can reduce stigma every day.

Les mots influencent nos attitudes. Dire « une personne vivant avec la schizophrénie » met la personne en premier, tandis que des étiquettes comme « schizophrène » peuvent être déshumanisantes. De petits changements dans le langage peuvent contribuer à réduire la stigmatisation au quotidien.
