It's really about "I am" vs "I have". "I am" depersonalizes the person because it gives more importance to the disorder instead of the person.

I think "depressed" can be read in context more so then other illnesses. You are more then sad when somebody you really care about breaks up with you. I would call that depressed but not a disorder. You could say unipolar but that is too many syllables. Venushalley, was it you that shared the George Carlin video?
