The euphemism treadmill is particularly annoying in psychiatry. People keep using useful diagnostic labels as mean names for people they don't like then in an attempt to be respectful of the people we serve we use a different diagnostic label but then everybody has to learn and start using the new diagnostic label and by the time it reaches saturation it's already an insult again.
