To be fair, I don't think I've ever heard the term tumourous. Ever. Not even when I had a tumour and the oncologist was explaining my condition to me.

You've probably heard of "plot tumor" though.

It's a pretty rare expression. And there are better ways of explaining something.

Mental illness is stigmatized and used to describe unrelated concepts a lot more than physical diseases are.

I think clinomorphisms as a whole are more common than we consciously acknowledge. Many of them have entered colloquial use for so long we don't recognize them as such any more, and would probably have a hard time using the English language without them: "run from it like the plague", "apoplectic with rage", "this movie is so sappy I'm going into a diabetic coma", etc.

The diseases used up there are hardly any less serious, it's just that it's only recently that a lot of attention has been drawn to mental illnesses so in a sense, it's still "new". Maybe it's too soon to start using them in clinomorphisms, but maybe enforcing the stigma is actually strengthening the taboo around mental illnesses that leads to the mistreatment of sufferers.
