    It really all depends on the type and extent of the disability, and the person’s circumstances. The question is too broad and vague to give a real answer. You may not think they should feel that way, but then again, you aren’t the one living with the disability. I assume you aren’t disabled because of the question you asked. Losing your ability to take care of yourself, and/or to be a ‘productive’ member of society is hard on a person’s sense of worth and accomplishment. Consequently, that can breed depression and dispondency. This country does not have room or time for the elderly, the infirm, or the poor. And, too often, it’s members of these very populations that suffer the worst, in every way, when they become disabled. And, the run-around that social service agencies, who are supposed to help you, give you is enough to drive an already sick person over the mental edge. Whatever you do, keep yourself nicely insured, even if you have to moonlight as a (gulp) telemarketer.
