Though bipolar would be on my list of not particularly bothersome, I'd kind of rather see it called manic-depressive again. I just think people would use it less frivolously ("like omg, I'm so bipolar!"). I do not like the idea of calling it "mood disorder" for the opposite reason-- I think that would be used even *more* frivolously, especially given that most people don't realize that mood and emotions are *not* the same thing. I think it'd be thrown around willy-nilly whenever someone displayed an emotion someone else did not like or agree with.

I do like the idea of "neurological disorder". More medical, less separated from the body.

"Consumers". Oh how I hate that one. Makes it sound like we're just out shopping, instead of seeeking help for problems. "Clients", that I can deal with. Feels more proactive than "patients", which is... ok I guess. Sounds like we have less personal agency somehow though.

"Behavioral health". Don't like that one either. Makes us sound naughty and like we're could just be behaving ourselves better if we just tried harder. Ugh.

But I also agree with Fluffy. Any terms are likely to just end up stigmatized. People are stupid that way.
