*Our language always respects the integrity and the individuality of the people affected by these illnesses. All NAMI documents and NAMI co-authored documents use language that puts people first. For example, "individuals living with serious mental illness" instead of "mentally ill people" or "the mentally ill"; “people living with schizophrenia” instead of “schizophrenics,” and "people who are not criminally responsible" instead of "the criminallyinsane." | |||
