Thanks, @TideisTurning !

Personally, I'm really interested in finding out how a person can properly find out whether they are classified as disabled or not. Over the past few years, I've read a lot of really ambiguous (read confusing) and conflicting information on the subject.

For me, one of the massive stumbling blocks is this somewhat new concept of "psychosocial disability", which, I'm told is when "mental health problems intersect with social and/or environmental factors to create an obstacle for the individual" (or words to that effect).

This is further complicated by the fact that, in modern times, many of us who would have traditionally been labelled as "mentally ill" for our mindsets are now calling for recognition that our problems are not "mental problems", but are instead "life problems" which have given us depression, anxiety, suicidalness, ect.

So, with all these layers of abiguous, ill-defined, and inconsistant language, IMHO, it's getting to the stage where basically everybody can easily deem themselves to be disabled.

My problem? I'm lonely. I have nobody in my real life who I trust or genuinely enjoy the company of. I have no meaningful human connection.

Physically, mentally, I have no significant impearments or defects.

But because my life is so empty, I am (very rationally and reasonably) suicidal. By traditional standards, being suicidal automatically means that I must be mentally ill. Being "mentally ill", any social difficulties I encounter therefore become classified as "psychosocial disabilities". Hence, I officially qualify as a disabled person.

As a person with no significant impearments/defects, this makes no sense to me. Moreover, I worry about the implications of this. Potentially, any life struggle - be it bullying, unemployment, poverty, loneliness, beaurocratic struggles, descrimination, residential problems... anything with the potential to bring the sufferer down into long-term depression and/or suicidalness - can render the sufferer as officially qualifying as "disabled". And, to paraphrase "The Incredibles": "When everyone is disabled, no one will be!"

So, I guess the question is: How do I know if I'm disabled?
