65. It's lamentable that adjectival insufficiency always leads to stigmatizing mentally ill.

DU is generally sensitive to stereotyping except for the mentally ill.

Why, is it that supporting language that promotes discrimination against this class of people is OK?

I really don't understand this.

DUers support the interests of ethnic, gender, and religious minorities, but somehow -need- to be able to use the mentally ill as an avatar of disparagement. Disparagement leads to discrimination.

The uses of thorazine:

Schizophrenia -- to help control schizophrenia symptoms, including hallucinations and other problems

Nausea and vomiting -- to help control nausea and vomiting, particularly very severe nausea and vomiting, including for nausea and vomiting associated with porphyria.

Restlessness and worry before surgery -- to help calm those who are agitated or excessively worried about a surgery

Tetanus -- to help control muscle spasms associated with tetanus

Mania symptoms in people with bipolar disorder (also known as manic depression) -- to help control manic symptoms (especially psychotic symptoms)

Hiccups -- to cure hiccups that have not responded to other attempts at relief

evere behavior problems in children -- to help treat extremely severe hyperexcitability in children who become easily combative and explosive without being provoked

Severe attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children -- for short-term use only in children who are especially physically hyperactive.

NONE OF THESE IS INDICATED FOR THE TREATMENT OF TEAPARTY MEMBERSHIP.
