Click here for an article from the Guardian regarding the stigma around mental health and how it is fueled by use of certain language.
According to this article, political correctness must be considered when using evaluative adjectives like "nuts" or "bonkers". This kind of mental-health jargon is offensive to those who suffer from mental illnesses when it is used out of context, and we need to end it. Stop describing the weather as "schizophrenic"!
