Physically disabled people are significantly more at risk of mental illnesses than people without physical disabilities, but also often face greater barriers to care. https://twitter.com/kaylejh/status/1386645336802869250

Not only financial, but physical - many therapy offices are not wheelchair accessible - and ideological, in that many therapists assume your emotional distress must inherently be related to/caused by your physical disability.

Also, the whole false “physical disability vs. mental illness” binary often presumes that visibly disabled people ONLY have that visible disability. In many ways, it’s a form of lateral ableism in that it reduces us to our physical disabilities.

People already often assume that physically disabled people have one thing going on: our physical disability. Anything else, good or bad, must be background noise or nonexistent. Getting that assumption from other disabled people is especially frustrating.
