A disability is any condition that makes it harder for a person to do certain activities, or limits their ability to engage with the world. The term can cover a broad range of conditions. A physical disability, such as the loss of a limb, for example, may limit your movement, while deafness may affect how you communicate. It’s also possible to have a psychiatric disability, such as depression, anxiety, or schizophrenia, all of which can impair your ability to work, socialize, or complete other daily tasks. People with disabilities may be eligible for certain benefits and accommodations, depending on local laws.
