We’ve got this prominent non-peer MH advocate in New Mexico who regularly told peers “everyone has a little mental illness” because she felt this was a great way to connect with peers.

I would use analogies like “everyone has a little blindness” and “everyone has a little amputation.” It took a full year to get her to stop saying it.
