Yeah, I think most organizations and hospital units related to Mental Health have gone to Behavior Health. I wonder if this move was taken more to reduce the stigma of the term Mental Health than anything?

Let's face it, you see it all the time in the media. Someone breaks a law and if the media gets info that the alleged offender has Bipolar or Schizophrenia it becomes part of the story and next thing you know, ignorant comments about people with Bipolar or Schizophrenia are plastered on facebook or the media site.

I don't care for the term either.
