MIND YOUR LANGUAGE<br />
published in Tech Talk CE<br />
INSTEAD OF SAYING:<br />
CONSIDER SAYING:<br />
WHY THIS IS<br />
IMPORTANT:<br />
Suffering implies the patient<br />
is unwell and unhappy.<br />
“Mentally ill person”<br />
“Suffering from or<br />
afflicted by mental<br />
illness”<br />
“Person who is<br />
mentally ill”<br />
Living with mental<br />
illness<br />
People with mental illness<br />
can live fulfilling, healthy lives<br />
<strong>The</strong> use of language is critical to ensuring a<br />
recovery-oriented and person-centered<br />
approach<br />
It is important that people are seen first as<br />
people and not seen as their mental health<br />
condition<br />
Individuals are far more than<br />
their illness<br />
<br />
To accept someone as a person first is far<br />
more respectful and honours many other<br />
parts of them outside their illness<br />
Referring to the patients "issues"<br />
trivializes the patient's illness<br />
Person with mental<br />
health "issues"<br />
Living with mental<br />
illness<br />
It doesn't really offer much<br />
information to reflect what the patient<br />
is dealing with<br />
It demonstrates a lack of mental<br />
health awareness and knowledge<br />
about mental illness<br />
Schizophrenic,<br />
psychotic, disturbed,<br />
crazy<br />
Person living with<br />
schizophrenia<br />
People should be identified as<br />
people -- not by their illnesses
INSTEAD OF SAYING:<br />
CONSIDER SAYING:<br />
WHY THIS IS<br />
IMPORTANT:<br />
"Normal behaviour"<br />
"Usual behaviour" for<br />
this individual or<br />
"typical behaviour"<br />
for this person<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is no clear definition of<br />
"normal." It can cause others to feel<br />
judged if their experience is<br />
classified as not fitting in to a<br />
category of normal. Usual or typical<br />
is less critical<br />
<strong>The</strong> use of language is critical to ensuring<br />
a recovery-oriented and person-centred<br />
approach<br />
Substance abuser,<br />
addict, alcoholic<br />
<br />
Person who "suffers"<br />
from addiction<br />
Person with a<br />
substance use disorder.<br />
Person with a cannabis<br />
use disorder, alcohol<br />
use disorder, or<br />
polysubstance disorder<br />
It is important that people are seen first as<br />
people and not seen as their mental<br />
health condition<br />
Suffering implies the patient is unwell and<br />
not recovery focused<br />
Recovery involves increasing a person's<br />
ability to make the changes they want in<br />
their life -- the power to get better, to<br />
identify their goals, to develop the ability to<br />
accomplish their goals, and provide the<br />
supports needed to attain their goals<br />
<br />
Committed suicide<br />
Died by suicide<br />
To say someone committed suicide<br />
suggests blame. <strong>The</strong> individual<br />
died as a result of their illness and<br />
we need to acknowledge that<br />
mental illness can be associated<br />
with mortality. We would never<br />
blame someone from dying from<br />
cancer
