No: Disability is a legal determination that is associated with receiving financial benefits. You can be disabled for mental, psychiatric or physical reasons. Many disabled persons seek rehabilitation, education, or peer support to achieve more in life. Some people with one disabling condition achieve new careers or become business owners later in life. Stay positive and good luck with your journey.
