Best Answer

Describing someone as schizophrenic is not using person-first language. Person-first language is putting the person before the disorder, so that you do not refer to someone as being their disorder. Saying that someone is schizophrenic implies that that person is defined by schizophrenia. Instead of saying that someone is schizophrenic, try saying that the person has schizophrenia.
