Many times, people label disorders in the general terms like like “crazy” “psycho” “wacko” or “loony” as you said. This also contributes to the delay of them properly identifying the problem and getting treatment. “Use of Language is Most Important” what you stated is very true.

If the person wants to be public and include a name that is fine, if not I honor their right to privacy. I am not a licensed mental health professional, but I am very involved in the advocacy, education and support of this community and want us to move beyond the discrimation and falsehoods that currently surround the realilty of mental illnesses.
