It's not.
when they say you have bipolar, they stick label on you, and give you meds and dont treat you for the rest of your life.
when someone says you've been hurt (=wounded), they can listen your life story and see where it went downhill, and all people are wounded to a degree...
If someone is bipolar, and you don't say you have bipolar, you identify person first, a person with bipolar disorder, they have an identified and treatable disease. If you say someone is wounded, that opens up all kinds of interpretations and definitions. I would prefer, and I think others feel the same, to not be labeled as broken and un-repaired.
