What is another word for lunatics?
Pronunciation: [lˈuːnətˌɪks] (IPA) 
The term "lunatics" has been used for decades to refer to individuals who behave in an erratic or insane manner. However, as our society progresses, we have come to realize that the use of such derogatory terms is not appropriate. Instead, we can use alternative synonyms such as "mentally ill," "psychotic," "deranged," "insane," or "unstable" to refer to individuals who suffer from mental health issues. These words carry less stigma and allow us to express our concerns for individuals without dehumanizing or ostracizing them. By using more appropriate synonyms, we can encourage more compassion and empathy for those who are struggling with their mental health.
