## Issues
|
|
|
|
Crazy is very commonly used as an adjective to embody a vast array of ideas, often not specifically. It is used so frequently that it sometimes is a filler. Crazy can also be used in a derogatory manner for someone with mental or psychiatric disabilities.
|
|
|
|
## Impact
|
|
|
|
By using ableist language, we are perpetuating violence against people who experience mental or psychological disabilities. Using this language perpetuates those systems and language of harm, regardless of our intent.
|
|
|
|
## Usage Tip
|
|
|
|
Be more specific. Typically we can find an alternate definition by taking time to reflect on what emotion we're really feeling.
