I can't speak to the event at hand but I do have a comment for the general theme of the thread - the casual misuse of the terms related to mental illness.

I hate when someone launches into a lengthy description of being depressed - all because something has not gone perfectly. I don't mean to discount Depression but I refer to those using the term to gain sympathy and attention. it's even worse when the individual gives a little giggle.

So to it boils me up when people call things nutty or crazy. When they refer to another as being crazy I cringe and must bite my tongue.

I was recently at a church children's play where I had the wonderful experience of 35 kids yelling "crazy" and circling a finger about the heads mid-story. So hurtful and uncalled for. What message were we teaching these children then?

I could go on....
