An invisible disability is an inconspicuous physical or mental impairment that makes it difficult for someone to perform one or more major life activities. Despite appearing vivacious, in control of speech or thoughts, or socializing well with others, individuals with invisible disabilities may face significant challenges that are not immediately visible. One of the greatest challenges faced by people with invisible disabilities is simply a lack of understanding and awareness from others about the nature and impact of these conditions.
