Psychosocial Disability (Mental Illness)

​

What is 'psychosocial disability'?

​

Psychosocial disability is a term used to describe a disability that may arise from a mental health issue.

​

Not everyone who has a mental health condition will have a psychosocial disability, but for people who do, it can be severe, longstanding and impact on their recovery. People with a disability as a result of their mental health condition may qualify for the NDIS.
