At a minimum you chose an odd target for your satire. There isn't really any adjective that can be used in that location that will add much information to the text (it is just expressing enthusiasm).

An experiment: Next time you reach for some euphemism for mental illness, consider a couple of alternative phrasings (that do not use the euphemism). Decide if the alternatives are clearer or more precise. I don't run around taking issue with word choices, but if I run that experiment, I usually choose one of the alternative phrasings.
