Mental Health

Of all the disabilities we have discussed so far, mental health impairments have arguably seen the biggest increase in exposure over the last few years, and yet our understanding of them is very much still forming. Consequently, the way we think about mental health on the Web is in a state of flux. While some mental health disorders, like depression and anxiety, are fairly well understood, the way we categorize and define other conditions is constantly changing. The definitions of conditions like schizophrenia or psychosis, for example, have changed a lot over the last few years and can refer to a wide variety of experiences.1
