I have mixed feelings about the term. i sometimes use the term crazy to describe myself. And here in TO we have MH events, like Mad Pride, and the Rendevous with Madness Film Festival that are put on by consumers to raise awareness of mental health issues. In those cases - I see it as reclaiming the language for use by the community, as a way to educate the public. Sort of like how Gay Pride parades started out.
