You
What's the difference between a psychosocial disability under the NDIS and just having a mental health condition? It seems confusing.
AI Tutor
That's a great question. A mental health condition becomes a **psychosocial disability** when it has a significant, long-term impact on someone's ability to do daily activities. The NDIS focuses on this functional impact, not just the diagnosis. For example, it might affect a person's ability to work, study, or connect with others. We can look at some specific examples of functional impacts if you like.
