This , we're highlighting the impact that disability can have on a person's mental health. Disabled people are significantly more likely to suffer from poor mental health conditions like depression and anxiety compared to non-disabled people, and this includes children too.

Loneliness, inaccessibility, stigma and other barriers all contribute to poor mental health.

Scope - Free, independent advice and support for disabled people and their families
