Ugh. Agree about off leash dogs. Not cool. Frustrating about your daughter. You have every right to enjoy a dog-less outdoors.

But calling people psychotic ain’t cool either. It has a very narrow, specific definition, requires diagnosis, and is a painful experience for the patient and family. Not to be thrown around lightly as an insult.

Are you the first or the last to call people psychotic just because they are different? No.

Here’s what psychotic looks like, it’s traumatizing for these little ones, and it looks quite different than walking into a Tractor Supply Store with a leashed dog:

Sorry for the rant. Pet peeve of mine. It’s just that we’re trying to lessen mental health stigma and this doesn’t help.
