Odds are, you've heard of the five love five languages by now, and you may even have proclaimed out loud that your love language is physical touch, quality time, or one of the five.

It has become commonplace for people to use mental health conditions as
dramatic labels for aspects of everyday life. Expressions like, "OMG, she's
so bipolar" and "I'm so OCD right now" have become a part of everyday
conversations. While most people are just trying to describe what they feel
at any given moment, this language may minimize the seriousness of these
conditions, create confusion, and leave people who truly struggle feeling...
