Would using 'paranoid' for 'frightened' and 'depressed' for 'sad' count as inflationary?
I think that may be a different phenomenon, which arises from the serious difficulties involved in categorizing mental illness. After all, even clinical psychologists don't all agree on what constitutes "paranoia", so how should anyone else be expected to?
