With regard to psychological disability, we know that there are more women than men who report psychological disability. That doesn't necessarily mean more women than men have the disability, only that more women report the disability. I agree with my colleagues that many of the issues they describe are relevant to psychological disability, as well as to many of the other disabilities.
One of the things we know about disability supports in general, particularly with people with mental illness who transition to disability support systems, is that it's very hard to transition off again. As a part of our research, we spoke to key informants in the Ontario disability support system, and they indicated that the two most common reasons for people leaving that system were that they either became eligible for CPPD or they died.
