And I just do not see how that can stigmatize a group of people. It is like saying that the use of the word "headache" in non-medical contexts (e.g., "this homework is a headache") stigmatizes people with migraines. It just does not.

Listen, I live in a state where anyone who commits a violent crime, before they catch the person the police say, “he was hallucinating, they were hearing voices” aka mental illness is why they are doing this as a way to take away more rights. Also in this state if you are in a conservatorship for mental illness you legally are barred from voting. How can you say hallucination is not a loaded term? It is different from headache because people are not stigmatized for migraines. No one is taking away your voting rights for migraines. No one is saying you are a murderer for migraines.

You can use nearly any word in derogative sense so that it becomes offensive. "he had headache so strong, he went crazy". Context matters. And I personally do not even associate hallucination with mental illness. If anything, I associate it with psychedelics. Words are like tools - you can harm with them, but you can use them appropriately.
