This implies differentiation, exclusion, restriction and preferential treatment between individuals, groups and communities, in some of these disadvantages. All these choices, decisions, actions are made based on non-objective criteria. Generally, people with disabilities are among, the most discriminated groups, because the society believes that only perfectly healthy people are able to work. In the category of those with disabilities enter those with mental disabilities too. These people are marginalized, excluded by society and people look them with distrust and indifference.
