discussions about mental illness or disease that may be inappropriate for normal adults

I understand why you wouldn't want this discussed; I'm not disagreeing with your claim that this is potentially a problematic discussion topic. It's just that, as someone who has a mental illness, I did a double-take at the phrase "
normal adults." I'm sure your intent wasn't to imply that people with mental illness are not normal, which is why the wording doesn't offend me - but I think it might read better if you changed the wording. Maybe just say "discussions about mental illness or disease that may be inappropriate," and leave it at that?
Again, I don't want to start off my time here as a complainer, and I'm not offended because, like I said, I know there wasn't ill intent behind the wording. I just think that particular phrase could be written in a better way.
Thanks for your time!
