It is clear that the woman in the wheelchair has a physical disability, though she may be completely healthy mentally. However, the woman on the right, representing cultural ideals for what may be considered beautiful, has no physical disabilities, though it could be completely possible that she suffers great mental illness. Is it harder to have a disability that everyone can see? Or, is it harder to have one that is always hidden?
