Respondents were also asked to approve or disapprove the statement that people with mental disability have to be more isolated; obligatory treatment shall be applied more extensively. As well respondents evaluated the situation related to the rights of the disabled in Lithuania and expressed their attitudes towards the protection of rights of the disabled in the society during the recent 10 years.
