Preferrably psychological I suppose. I myself have mild asperger’s syndrome (allegedly). Seems like everybody has one these days.

Answer by Steve Emfield
“In the United States, 22 percent of U.S. adults (18 years and older) reported having a disability.2
In the United States, over 46 percent of adults over 18 experience a diagnosable mental disorder during their lifetime. Anxiety, impulse control disorders, mood disorders (for example, depression and bipolar disorder), and substance abuse are the most common.3 Other disorders may include sleep disorders, dementia, and eating disorders.”
Add that up, about 2/3 of our population will at some point admit to having either a disability or a mental disorder. (The other third will probably not admit to it.)
