Lunatic is actually obsolete, and though still used, has been removed from official legislative and medical terminology in both the UK and the US. <br /><br />"Of unsound mind" or non compos mentis are alternatives to lunatic, which was the most conspicuous term used for insanity in the law in the late 19th maggie mugginsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-26780182475071649322015-04-23T13:06:07.206+01:002015-04-23T13:06:07.206+01:00What would you call someone that gets on a roof an...What would you call someone that gets on a roof and threatens to throw a toddler off if not a physco or loony which is short for lunatic by the bye.

People with mental health issues suffer just as much as those with physical disorders, and deserve respect, not insults. What's "normal" anyway?

Had they brought Jenny back and given her no back story we would be reading moans about bringing her back with nothing to do for no reason aka Dennis, Amber etc. This time the writers have thought through what may have possibly happened to Jenny in the twenty so years since we have seen her and come up with a story that is now effecting her behaviour Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-21225621648366316592015-04-22T16:03:54.702+01:002015-04-22T16:03:54.702+01:00Since when do soaps reflect real life?
