sleep apnea is very definitely a physical disability
the others are mental ,but your councilor should be able to help you get an apartment,as this disables a person too

Sleep disorders are usually treated by psychiatrists. I would say that it is not a physical disability.

My husband was diagnosed with that about 6 months ago, I don’t see sleep apnea as being considered a physical disability persay?, and I certainly don’t see an apartments application process as accepting it as a disability of any kind..sorry?

Sleep Apnea is not a physical disability…it’s a sleep disorder. My father has it and evidently i have some very minor case of it as well, even though I don’t meet ANY of the criteria for it!
Bipolar and OCD are considered mental disorders…not physical disabilities.
