Hey, it isn't an insult. Don't try to make it into one.

Guettarda,
I agree with you that it is not an insult. But statements about someone's mental and/or emotional condition are not dealt very kindly in the larger culture. And, it can be very tricky legally - if the subject of the statement wanted to pursue it.
