Yes, mental illness can lead to unknown bad events but I would prefer not to plant any triggers in that direction. Not that the title would cause such a thing, just another negativity for me. In another posting I mentioned a concept called "Appreciative Inquiry" which is sort've based on the Pygmallion effect - people respond to images other people have of them. In a sense, I think that using more neutral or pleasant terms/descriptors is a more positive approach.
