Does anyone else find the word "psychotic" offensive when being used to describe you? I certainly do.

My therapist keeps using the word "psychotic" in front of me. Saying "you're psychotic" is sort of... insulting? I mean, first of all... I am sane. Second of all, even if it WERE true, why would you say, "you're psychotic"? I think that's on the same level as saying "you're legally insane," or "you're suicidally depressed."

Am I being too sensitive? I find such blunt phrases to be rather harsh. Why not just say, "I understand. You seem to be experiencing [insert symptoms here]." My pdoc never says the word "psychotic," and instead talks about my symptoms in the way I described in my previous sentence. He never accuses me of being psychotic.
