AIUI this would require a professional to provide confirmation that the potential traveller's condition affects their ability to use trains. I forget exactly how that works, and have no idea how readily doctors/psychologists would deem a diagnosed person to be in this category.
I suspect the industry has calculated that this would increase ridership in a way that offsets the losses effected by the discount.

Given the rising volume of these diagnoses, it could prove quite costly to the railway.
