Sadly, people still stigmatise and discriminate against people with mental health problems and with learning disabilities. People with learning disabilities often die younger than they need to (even after adjusting for the health difficultites caused by the LD) because of poor quality of care.
I agree with everything you say though. People are often horribly judgemental toward people with addictions.
