A mental health disability is a diagnosed mental health condition/disorder that substantially limits a person’s capability to perform major life activities such as learning, working, communicating, and taking care of oneself.

Specific examples of mental health conditions/disorders that can lead to a disability include:

• • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Bioplar disorder
  • Schizophrenia
  • Obsessive compulsive disorder 
  • Dementia
  • Cognitive disorders
  • Learning disorders
  • Attentional disorders (ADHD)
  • Intellectual disabilities
  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Mental health disabilities can be caused by various factors such as genetics, psychological, work-related and environmental factors. Symptoms can vary from person to person, and the cause and recurrence of disorder/disability can be unpredictable.

There are many treatments to assist people with mental health disabilities such as a combination of medication, counseling, tutoring and a variety of therapies. These individuals may also be eligible for support services at work or school and benefits from the state.
