Psychiatric Disability

Meaning

Psychiatric Disability refers to a medically diagnosed mental health condition that substantially and measurably limits one or more major life activities, significantly impairing an individual’s ability to function effectively in daily life, professional settings, or social contexts. In the critical context of hormonal health, this designation includes severe conditions such as major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, or bipolar disorder, all of which are increasingly understood to have significant, bidirectional causal interactions with underlying endocrine imbalances. This is a formal clinical recognition of the impairment’s severity and its profound functional consequence.
