Schizophrenia
A somatic disorder is a malfunction of the body. A psychosomatic disorder is a disorder of (most commonly) the body caused by a psychological factor (the mind).
The word "schizophrenia" comes from the Greek roots "schizo" (split) and "phren" (mind), reflecting the split between thought, emotion, and behavior that is characteristic of the disorder. It was coined by Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler in 1911 to describe the fragmented mental processes seen in patients with the condition.
At one point, schizophrenia was called "dementia praecox". Some people may say that "multiple personality disorder", "split personality", or "dissociative identity disorder" are other names for schizophrenia. However, the condition that these names describe is not the same as schizophrenia.

They are the same thing. Schizophrenia is a psychotic disorder in the spectrum of psychotic disorders. However, that said, Schizophrenia is the most severe of the psychotic disorders (with perhaps the exception of Schizoaffective disorder). A person can be labeled "psychotic" if they have a milder problem, such as delusional disorder.
