Notes that people with mental disabilities who aspire to careers in the medical and legal professions encounter substantial discrimination if their disabilities are obvious or disclosed. From universities that forbid students with diagnosed mental disabilities from living in student dormitories to licensing boards that demand that medical students with ADHD undergo a full psychiatric examination at their own expense before being given accommodations on examinations, the areas of education and licensing of medical and legal professionals are filled with barriers and burdens based on discriminatory stereotypes. The areas of discrimination in professional education, licensing, and discipline have a number of issues unique to them, which are discussed in detail here.
