Why is schizophrenia still being used when you apply the epistemology behind the word?

 

>Schizo = Split  
Phrenia = Mind  
The word schizophrenia translates as splitting of the mind, its use was intended to describe the separation of function between personality, thinking, memory, and perception.

Japan changed this disorder's name to integration disorder  
 in 2002, and South Korea changed it to attunement disorder  
 in 2012. Does splitting of the mind describe the disorder appropriately enough to be used as the medical term, and how so? How would the aforementioned functions be separated in schizophrenics?

One reason names for illness change is often due to treatment options changing. 

Another is to make it seem less terrifying so people suffering from them are more likely to get help (which is why they did it Korea).
