I have made this graph in order to observe the evolution of knowledge and interest in the topics related to schizophrenia over the last two centuries. As we can see in the graph, the knowledge and interest in the symptoms of schizophrenia such as social isolation and hallucinations, besides madness, mental illnesses and mental hospitals has existed and increased for a long time, what is strange is that despite this, it seems that the writing about schizophrenia has just existed since the 20s, however, according to the sources I have consulted, schizophrenia has existed for many centuries, which means that schizophrenic patients did not receive the most suitable diagnosis or treatment for their disease until the 1920s, this is likely due to the lack of medical knowledge until the end of the 19th century.
