I prefer neurological disorder.
Both terms are far enough away from lay medical terminology as to be mildly mystifying yet non-threatening. What I *don't* like about illness is how people tend to think that you have something like the flu and that with some medicine and bedrest, it will all go away. I've had that happen to me ... and when you don't get better soon, those folks start wondering if there is "**really** something wrong" with you.
Then again, I've always found "Hey psycho" to be rather endearing....
