Sensitive creative as a term suffers from two problems that in information retrieval are called precision and recall. We are looking for a term that describes everyone with the disease and does not describe anyone without the disease. That would be the ideal term. "Sensitive creative" describes my friend, a poet with a sensitive soul who is mentally well. So "sensitive creative" casts its net too wide - it captures people without illness. That is a precision problem. It also does not quite capture everyone with the illness - for instance, I am not particularly creative and I am definitely not sensitive, I am rather emotionally numb. So that is a recall problem. Speaking in the terms of medical statistics, we would have both false positives (my friend the poet) and false negatives (myself) with sensitive creative. But it definitely is a beautiful term that would have won if it were a beauty contest.

For Bipolar I, "manic depressive" is absolutely precise - every single patient has mania and depression. It does not capture important facets of the illness, however, such as anxiety. So I am still on the lookout for that perfect name.
