Being physically disabled really interferes with your ability to get mental health help. One of the biggest barriers to me doing voluntary inpatient when I'm in crisis is my wheelchair.

If you call for help the ambulance (or in some cases police) who come to transport you often aren't able to take a wheelchair. Ambulances usually don't have wheelchair ramps. If your chair is too big or too heavy they'll definitely leave it behind, sometimes they leave it behind even if it's easy to bring.

I get free transportation to medical care through my insurance so I could use that. However, my issues don't stop once I arrive at the door. Mental health professionals aren't trained to deal with physically disabled people. They don't know the difference between giving up and accepting your limits. They don't know not to push us to "get better". Especially with my illness being contested I worry I'll be denied accomodations for my disability. I worry I'll have my wheelchair taken away, be forced to stand and walk, be forced to exercise, and not allowed to rest. This is something no one should have to worry about, but it doesn't change the fact that a lot of inpatient programs get away with abusing and ignoring the needs of patients.

Physical disability really brings out a lot of issues with current inpatient programs, mainly that they assume patients are non-compliant for no reason even when the patient is there voluntarily. Inpatient would be much safer for physically disabled people if mentally ill people, regardless of how unable they seem as far as making medical decisions for themselves, could say "that's going to hurt me" or "that's not going to help me" about a particular treatment and be believed.
