I hope that it worked out well for your family member in the hospital. Sometimes such visits are precipitated by a crisis, other times it can come about because an individual and/or their loved ones make a choice to seek help.
A friend who I admire greatly shared that some time earlier, she had been for mental health counseling to help her deal with very troubling issues. With sufficient psychotherapy, she resolved those matters entirely. She told me in no uncertain terms that it takes strength to seek help: it's not a sign of weakness.
As to user names, there is no such thing as poorly chosen ones. They are all chosen with intention, and whatever one calls themselves is fine, and not a trigger for anyone else.
@Defectiveai67illustrated perfectly the meaning that handle has for them. People who may be disgruntled from time to time, are not suffering from illnesses. We're fine with our handles.
@LurganIeUkwrote:
Sadly another poorly chosen user name. Like @Defectiveai67 and @disgruntled2 @Dis_Gruntled etc etc.
Yesterday I spent time with a family member in the Psychiatry ward in hospital. True or not it is not funny or a cute label!!! And can be offending!!!!
