It is semantics, but I think it is less about using the word bipolar and more about using it as a label. Being bipolar is an aspect of your daughter's life, but calling her 'a bipolar' makes it seem like her defining trait. Bipolar isn't a taboo word. The issue lies in how it is used and whether or not using it that way is an indicator of how you define your daughter.

I get what you are saying. Thanks for clarifying. Unfortunately, bipolar
is her predominant defining trait atm. It is not how I define her though.
