[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 188199, member: 3626"] Sorry, I fnd nothing objectionable about either. I don't see Behavioral Health or Mental Health as implying there is a choice. To me it says there is an attempt being made to make someone healthy from behavioral or mental issues. Not everything is curable. Sometimes the best a doctor can do is stabilize a patient and possibly relieve some of their pain. Whether that pain is mental or physical is irrevelant. So, to my mind it makes sense in a hospital setting (sort of). Same goes for mentally ill -- it is what it is -- an illness of the mind. Maybe someone specializing in behavioral health can help someone with a mental illness, maybe not. What is tragic that this does seem to be one illness that cannot be cured, just helped. I will admit that I think the term behavioral health floor/room/center, etc. is kind of dumb, a prettying up of psychiatric ward. I don't see it as a form of political correctness but more of a gussying up of something that doesn't need it. But, then, I can remember when my father was in a cancer ward, not an oncology unit. So, maybe the gussying up is needed for some patients and their families. [/QUOTE]
