A more thorough explanation: The term “mental case” is considered to be a derogatory and stigmatizing term when referring to an individual with a mental health condition. In legal terms, it is not an appropriate or respectful way to describe someone with a mental health issue. It is important to use language that is respectful and does not perpetuate negative stereotypes or discrimination against individuals with mental health conditions.
Example: “He’s a total mental case.” (Offensive and derogatory use)
