Distinguer maladies et d éficiences dans le domaine de la santé mentale : un objectif raisonnable ? Les enseignements d’une enquête qualitative liée à l’enquête Handicap-Santé

This article aims at identifying the reasons and challenges as well as the benefits and limits of this twofold investigation. It intends also to examine its concrete consequences, on the basis of a qualitative survey carried out among 44 respondents to the questionnaire who had declared having mental difficulties in both categories of experience. The way respondents differentiate disease and impairment when answering questions related to anxiety and mood suggests avenues for further reflection on the criteria people use to specify their difficulties in one plane of experience or the other.
