Words such as „Diagnose“ (diagnosis), „Psychose“ (psychosis), and „Behandlung“ (treatment) point to the medical meaning. If two behaviors are contrasted with „gleichzeitig“ (at the same time) or „einerseits … andererseits“ (on the one hand … on the other hand), the figurative meaning is usually intended.
Nach der Diagnose einer schizophrenen Psychose begann die Behandlung.
After being diagnosed with a schizophrenic psychosis, he began treatment.
Er findet es schizophren, einerseits die Umwelt schützen zu wollen und andererseits jeden kurzen Weg mit dem Auto zu fahren.
He thinks it is schizophrenic to want to protect the environment on the one hand while driving every short distance by car on the other.
In medical texts, „schizophren“ (schizophrenic) often occurs in the phrases „schizophrene Psychose“ (schizophrenic psychosis), „schizophrene Erkrankung“ (schizophrenic illness), and „schizophrene Symptome“ (schizophrenic symptoms). The adjective can therefore refer to the illness or its symptoms, not just to a person.
Das Medikament wird zur Behandlung schizophrener Symptome eingesetzt.
The medication is used to treat schizophrenic symptoms.
For the figurative evaluation, the pattern „es ist schizophren, … zu …“ (it is schizophrenic to …) is typical. The infinitive phrase often connects two opposing actions with „und gleichzeitig“ (and at the same time).
Es ist schizophren, ständig mehr Wohnungen zu fordern und gleichzeitig jedes neue Bauprojekt abzulehnen.
It is schizophrenic to constantly demand more housing while rejecting every new building project at the same time.
