Young adults with anxiety and depression often face significant challenges accessing healthcare, particularly when their conditions involve functional impairments or mental health-related disabilities (MHRDs). This scoping review will synthesize peer-reviewed research on healthcare access and utilization for individuals aged 18–30 with anxiety and/or depression, examining how disability or impairment is defined and assessed. Using the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology, this protocol outlines a participatory and systematic approach grounded in Canadian policy frameworks and international disability classifications. Findings will inform future research, policy, and practice to improve healthcare equity for young adults with mental health conditions and associated impairments.
