People with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, severe anxiety, or PTSD may find many things hard in their daily lives. This includes relationships, health issues, and finding a place to live.The NDIS recognises psychosocial disability. This recognition helps keep each participant living a bit more stable, independent, and fulfilling life.
The NDIS enables us at Advance Care Agency to provide psychosocial support that is caring, consistent, and focused on recovery. Here’s why we’re a provider of choice for individuals and families navigating these challenges.
What Is Psychosocial Disability in the NDIS?
Psychosocial disability refers to disabilities caused by mental health issues. These disabilities can make it difficult to perform daily tasks. For the condition to be eligible for NDIS support,it must be:
Going on and likely to stay that way
- Making it hard to do everyday things
- Requiring support to participate in the community or pursue goals
Conditions may include:
- Schizophrenia
- Schizoaffective disorder
- Bipolar disorder
- Major depressive disorder
- Severe PTSD or anxiety disorders
The NDIS assesses functional capacity for support, not just diagnosis.
This means that the supports are intended to help you live better, not just cope with a condition.
