Disabilities can be physical or mental, such as developmental disorders, organic brain syndrome, emotional or mental illness or specific learning disabilities, which limit a major life activity. This could be the result of disabilities that are apparent, such as being in a wheelchair, using a cane, being disfigured or having an amputation. Or, they could be subtler, such as a heart problem, breathing difficulties, depression, anxiety and any other disorders that affect any daily life activity. To be considered a disabling condition, a disability or limitation must be, or be perceived, as long-standing or permanent.
