God bless those who brought the ADA to the forefront and passed this law.
I did not know that mental disabilities were also is part of the disabilities act. Thank you for your story (“Neglected disabilities,” Nov. 24). I am one who has suffered mental disability for 63 years. It is very difficult with doctors and businesses that don’t recognize the mental disability. This needs to change, especially with seeing doctors. And the fact that everything is digitally done.
I’m sorry you had to seek other doctors for access. I get forms in the mail, applications for personal information. At times, assistance is available but other times not. So I do what I can to the best that I know how. And I know that when that happens the information I give is incorrect—doesn’t seem right. I feel sad; it doesn’t seem fair.
Well, thank you for your article, and blessings to you and loved ones and all people.
