We encourage the use of positive language when discussing mental illness, mental disorders, and mental health.

We do not, however, have the power to police every single person's post here to ensure they only use such positive language when referring to people who have mental illness.

It's a good reminder that words do matter, and you should try and think about your word choice when writing, even if its informal in a community of this nature.
