I see how it can be perceived this way, but I think it's because of the novelty of the condition (so people aren't used to it being casually used as much).

For more established conditions, we don't really feel that way, e.g. like, how:

"Turn the flashlight off, I'm going blind!"

"This jump scare gave me a heart attack!"

"Monday's make me depressed"

Are not really considered an insult to the blind, people with heart conditions, and the clinically depressed...

Being blinded is something many people temporarily experience without being “visually impaired.” Feeling depressed is something that everyone experiences, while they may not be clinically depressed. Heart attacks are similarly common; they are hardly a misunderstood phenomenon.

These things are not the same as misunderstood conditions suffered by a small minority.
