Yes. Because it is an adjective, at least in greek, where it comes from. The ending -ic indicates an adjective. E.g. A schizophrenic person. We use it as a noun when we imply the word person but not actually say it.

Schizophrenic is an adjective, taken from the noun Schizophrenia. It should never be used as an noun, technically. Because people always take the shortcuts of a language to become common usage, "schizophrenic person" just becomes "schizophrenic" as an adjective, just like phobic, psychotic, amnesiac, and so on.

yes (Eg: "They Had A Schizophrenic Personality" It's Used To DESCRIBE the type of personality.)
HOPE THIS HELPS

no,because it's strictly to use as describing someone's type of psychiatric disorder. it's not an everyday word or anyone's a schizophrenic,which doesn't make any sense.

Perhaps so I guess Schizophrenically maybe. Used in a predigest way.

of course it can be used as an adjective (ex. that boy is schizophrenic.)

You can, but it's looked down upon because schizoprhenia is a disorder, not a way to label a person.

they could be swear words if used as swear words "bloody hell" or "bleeding terrible" or they could have yet another which skill as "there grew to become into various bloody combating" or "his arm grew to become into bleeding severly after the twist of fate."
