There are also dreadful slang terms for paraplegics and those that are brain damaged, yet these terms have fallen into disuse for obvious reasons. When is the world going to catch up, and stop denigrating & ridiculing the Mentally Ill?
I'm sorry about the (dumb) ad they played. These terms also suck a lot. About your question, I am not sure. I hope sometime soon.
