In adaptations sometimes characters are given disabilities, both physical and mental, that were not in the original work.
The reason for this differs from work to work. One reason could be because the adaptation's writers don't believe the characters should be so unscathed from their adventures. Another reason could be in order to provoke more drama. In the case of mental illness, this often (but not always) relates to an Adaptational Angst Upgrade, though it is by no means limited to it. "Disabled AUs" are a popular type of fan-work as a result. In some rarer cases, it is due to the actor chosen for the role being disabled in real life, causing it to be written into the story.
The inversion would be Abled in the Adaptation. Sub-trope to Adaptational Diversity. Compare to Written-In Infirmity, when a character is given a specific disability because the actor portraying that character has the same condition.
Can also be as minor as wearing glasses, which is often treated as a purely aesthetic choice.

The Mr. Men Show has three characters that wear glasses unlike they did in the book; Miss Whoops, Mr. Nervous and Mr. Persnickety/Pernickety/Fussy (though in the latter's case, he can still see sometimes without them). There was an entire episode dedicated to them "Eyeglasses" due to them being the only ones wearing permanent glasses. This is likely done to show some characters with glasses as the characters brought from the books don't wear them.

In the comics, the accident that turned Otto Octavius into Doctor Octopus only resulted in the grafting of a harness with four robotic tentacles to him and only becoming an Evil Cripple through years of battle. Ultimate Spider-Man sees the accident itself be the cause for Octavius becoming paralyzed, needing his tentacles just for the sake of moving until season 4, where Ock injects himself with nanites to rebuild his body.

In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003), Leonardo loses a chunk of his shell after he is accidentally stabbed by Karai, a wound that never happens to him in the original comics. This is a metaphor for the PTSD he developed- after all, the original name for PTSD was "shell shock".

Batman: Arkham Series:
The Penguin during the events of City and Knight features a vent in his neck and a beer bottle jammed into his left eye in place of his traditional monocle.
The Calendar Man is an Evil Cripple, his right leg being shorter than his left and wearing a brace and elevated shoe to compensate.
Much like Michael Gough and Alan Napier's versions, Alfred is shown wearing glasses in Knight.
Like in Suicide Squad (2016), Harley argues with voices in her head, as shown in the bonus mission in Knight where she is playable.

G.I. Joe: Renegades:
Most versions of General Hawk give him the use of both eyes. In Renegades, General Abernathy is shown wearing a patch over his right eye, suggesting at the least that he's lost the vision in it.
As part of the rather lax dress code of the original team, Airtight wore a hazmat suit to protect himself. In Renegades, he's infected with an infectious disease by Cobra and wear the suit to protect others from his condition.
Most of the time, Cobra Commander is in good health. In Renegades, some of his actions are motivated by the fact he's shown as dealing with a disease and when it's introduced, the series version of his iconic silver faceplate is reimagined as a breathing mask.

DC Animated Universe:
Batman: The Animated Series:
The Penguin takes after his Batman Returns incarnation in having syndactyly (fused fingers). While the Art Evolution in TNBA would see the Penguin have normal hands again, it's unclear if it's just an artistic choice or if the Penguin had corrective surgery at some point.
While the B: TAS Mr. Freeze suffers the same condition his comic counterpart had that results in him needing a suit to keep himself below zero to survive, in The New Batman Adventures, it's shown to have taken a toll on his body, resulting in him becoming a disembodied head with robotic legs. In the comics, Freeze's body is still intact.
In the Superman comics, both General Zod and Jax-Ur have the use of both eyes. When both were fused into the Jax-Ur of Superman: The Animated Series, his design included a patch over his right eye.
Justice League would see the Trickster as having a mental illness, being so out of touch with reality, he didn't realize he was in costume until it was pointed out to him.

Elementary:
Sherlock's drug usage from the books is treated as a serious issue. He meets Joan when he's trying to get sober. Also, in a later season, Sherlock is diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome. There are some implications that Sherlock might be on the autism spectrum, but it's has been kept ambiguous (with much lampshading).
The final episode has a Wham Line that reveals Joan has cancer, though it's gone into remission by the timeskip at the very end of the episode.

In Iron Man 3, Tony suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after the events of the Avengers film. Tony doesn't suffer PTSD in the comics. They allude in the first two films without mentioning it to the disability Tony has in the comics: he's an alcoholic. (Specifically, in Iron Man 2 he becomes an alcoholic because of stress from the fact that he's dying. Both problems are fixed by the climax.)

Also, Doctor Octopus is suffering from a neurological disease which will eventually render his body immobile while his mind will remain functional. Which is why he's desperate to perfect his cybernetic tentacles, and why he's so horrified at the idea of being sent to jail and deprived of them, which will leave him confined to his useless body.

In Black Widow, Taskmaster is turned from a male mercenary with photographic mimicry powers to the daughter of the Red Room's leader, who lost physical mobility when Black Widow attempted to assassinate her father. The Taskmaster suit is what allows her to move and physically mimic her opponents.

Despite his name, Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget did not have a claw in the original cartoon. He just wore spiked gauntlets on his hands. In the 1999 film, the explosion Sanford Scolex set off to kill John Brown (the future Gadget) caused a bowling ball in Brown's car to fly into the air and land on Scolex's left hand, crushing it beyond repair. The hand was amputated and replaced by a large, mechanical pincer.

Marvel Cinematic Universe TV shows:
The Punisher (2017): Curtis Hoyle was an able-bodied man in the comics. In the show, however, he's lost his left leg below the knee from an IED and wears a prosthetic. It doesn't really do much to affect Curtis's contributions.
Runaways (2017):
Gert takes medication for anxiety, a condition that she did not have in the comics.
The adaptation also gives Victor Stein brain cancer, whereas he was perfectly healthy in the original comics.
In the comics, Echo is deaf but otherwise able-bodied. In Hawkeye, she also has a prosthetic leg (her actress Alaqua Cox is an amputee who uses one in real life).

Dynasty Warriors:
Wei Yan has a speech impairment where he tends to talk in phrase. There's no evidence in the historical records and Romance of the Three Kingdoms (which the games are based on) that he suffers from a speech impairment.
In the games, Guo Huai is portrayed as a sickly man who keeps on coughing. According to Word of God, he's very workaholic when fighting loyally for Wei that it exhausts his body. Historically, he was only sick in two major events which are the campaign in Mt. Dingjun and Cao Pi's coronation.
Some games in the series depict Xiahou Dun as always having his Eyepatch of Power, even in events before the battle of Xiapi, where he actually lost his eye.

The Walking Dead:
Two surviving characters from the source material, Sophia Peletier and Carl Grimes, both die in the show by becoming walkers.
In the source material, Hershel dies with his entire body intact. In the show, he loses his right leg in the Season 3 premiere before getting beheaded in the following season. Interestingly, both mutilations actually belonged to two different characters in the comics. The left leg amputation actually belonged to Dale (see above), while the beheading belonged to Tyreese.
In the comics, Bob is alive and well. In the show, his left leg was chopped-off by cannibals and he dies a few hours later. Much like Hershel, this arc originally belonged to Dale in the comics.
As mentioned above, Tyreese dies in the comics by getting beheaded. While the mutilation is less severe in the show (he got his arm chopped-off instead), it was done so because he got bitten. However, said infection, in addition to the pain that was heightened by the Life-or-Limb Decision, directly led to his death.
The show's version of Ron goes through a severe case of Sanity Slippage after Rick kills his Asshole Victim of a father. In the comics, Ron is still a Love Martyr for his father, but more-or-less remains a sane kid till his death.
In the comics, Denise dies because she refuses to have her infected arm chopped off. In the show, she dies due to a severe Moe Greene Special.
Denise's aforementioned death in the show actually belonged to Abraham in the source material. So how did Abraham die on the show? By getting his head repeatedly whacked by a barbwire-laced baseball bat until it's nothing more than a pile of mush.

In Ant-Man and the Wasp, Ghost, instead of inventing a suit that turns them intangible, is affected with quantum instability, which causes her severe chronic pain and will eventually kill her if not cured. The suit helps her control her condition. Like Taskmaster above, this character is also gender flipped.

Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040:
Slyia in the OVA was, for the most part, sane. Her 2040 counterpart, possibly as a result of her father using her brain in an experiment for the development of Boomer technology, is shown to suffer from mental instability.
In the OVA Quincy seemed to be perfectly fine (though on two occasions, he was shown using robotic doubles to avoid dangerous situations). His 2040 counterpart was hooked up to a throne with life support equipment.

Downplayed with Cassandra Cain. In the Batman comics, her initial inability to talk was the result of her father David Cain refusing to teach her how to do so, but she was still capable of learning and doing so. In the show, Lady Shiva mutilated Cassandra's vocal cords just to ensure she couldn't talk.

Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) added a few notable ones that weren't present in the source material:
In the manga, Paninya lost her legs as a child and had them replaced with automail prosthetics. In the anime, one of her arms was also replaced with a prosthetic in addition to her legs.
The anime has Rose Thomas, as a result of being an Ascended Extra, given a storyline where she suffers from severe depression and anxiety.
Scar loses both of his arms before performing a Heroic Sacrifice. In the source material, he survives the series with his body intact.
Roy Mustang loses his left eye in the anime's Grand Finale. In the manga, he loses his sight for some time, but his eyes remain intact and he regains his sight. Mustang's depression and PTSD are also given more focus, which causes him to have signs of alcoholism.
Edward zig-zags this. In the anime's Grand Finale, he briefly regains his lost arm and leg before performing a Heroic Sacrifice to bring Al back, which results in Ed being sent to an Alternate Universe where he once again loses his restored limbs. The source material's Grand Finale has Ed getting his arm restored. In the 2003 anime, Edward also has some PTSD symptoms that he mostly lacks in the manga.

Batman: The Animated Series:
The Penguin takes after his Batman Returns incarnation in having syndactyly (fused fingers). While the Art Evolution in TNBA would see the Penguin have normal hands again, it's unclear if it's just an artistic choice or if the Penguin had corrective surgery at some point.
While the B: TAS Mr. Freeze suffers the same condition his comic counterpart had that results in him needing a suit to keep himself below zero to survive, in The New Batman Adventures, it's shown to have taken a toll on his body, resulting in him becoming a disembodied head with robotic legs. In the comics, Freeze's body is still intact.

DC Extended Universe:
Lex Luthor clearly suffers from a form of mental disorder in addition to being a sociopath, which is traditionally what he is in the comics and most media.
In Suicide Squad (2016) it's implied that Harley Quinn hears voices in her head. This isn't a characteristic in her comic portrayal.
SHAZAM! (2019) makes it so the powerset doesn't cure Freddy's lame leg. Superpowered flight can't not go a long way to compensate, of course.

Joker (2019) sees its version of the title character, Arthur Fleck, suffer from various psychological and neurological issues, including Pseudobulbar affect and has hallucinations. In the comics, Depending on the Writer, the Joker is just Obfuscating Insanity to avoid actually going to prison or death row. Turns out it's a possible Double Subversion. Arthur's "hallucinations" seem to be Imagine Spots that the viewer is merely led to believe are real, and his rant before killing Murray Franklin hints that his apparent PBA might just be a bizarre and off-putting sense of humor. On the other hand, his apparent depression is never given any other explanation, and it's hinted that Arthur suffers from Childhood Brain Damage due to his mother allowing her boyfriend to beat young Arthur unconscious.

Game of Thrones: Jorah Mormont gets infected with greyscale in Season 5 after rescuing Tyrion from Stone Men. In the books, this Story Arc belongs to Jon Connington while Jorah himself remains healthy. Jorah gets cured in Season 7, however.
House of the Dragon: While the book only has Viserys lose some of his fingers over time, here, he loses his entire left arm. This later escalates as the first season progresses, until he's barely able to so much as walk. He also loses his right eye.

Spartacus:
Oenomaus loses his left eye near the end of Season 2. No historical records prove that this also happened to his Real Life counterpart.
Agron, who is a Decomposite Character of the historical Castus, loses the ability to clinch his hands near the end of the Finale Season due to being crucified. Like Oenomaus above, no historical records prove that this happened to the historical Castus.

Young Justice (2010):
In the comics, Paula Crook, the original Huntress/Tigress, was able-bodied her whole life. In the show, an unspecified event in the backstory led to her being confined to a wheelchair and ending up in prison, which also caused her to give up her life of crime.
Downplayed with Cassandra Cain. In the Batman comics, her initial inability to talk was the result of her father David Cain refusing to teach her how to do so, but she was still capable of learning and doing so. In the show, Lady Shiva mutilated Cassandra's vocal cords just to ensure she couldn't talk.
Similarly downplayed with Jason Bard. In the comics, he had a bad knee due to his time as a soldier. In the show's fourth season, he's an amputee who's missing the lower half of his right leg and replaced it with a prosthetic.

The Batman Film Series:
Batman himself, when played by Michael Keaton and Val Kilmer required glasses to see things up close.
While not focused on, Pat Hingle, who played Commissioner Gordon throughout the movies, was missing his left little finger due to an accident he had in 1959.
Batman Returns:
The Penguin has severe syndactyly. While it became a case of Depending on the Artist afterward, prior to Returns, he had no such condition in the comics and most media, where he is merely a textbook Fat Bastard.
Catwoman develops dissociative identity disorder in her Origin Story and as a result becomes a Psychopathic Womanchild. While prone to crazy shenanigans in the comics and most media, Catwoman is more or less mentally stable.
In Batman & Robin, Alfred Pennyworth develops a rare and fatal disease that becomes integral to the plot. He's always been in good health in the comics. Additionally, much like Alan Napier's version, this Alfred is shown wearing glasses.

In My Little Pony (G3), Scootaloo, who's an earth pony, was not shown to have any disabilities.

Dororo (2019): An odd case. Hyakkimaru isn't missing any more body parts than his manga counterpart. In fact, he's missing significantly fewer of them, with the number having shrunk from 47 to 12. However, he also has far less in the way of Disability Negating Superpowers, so his deafness, blindness, and muteness affect him far more than they did in previous incarnations.

Arrowverse:
In contrast to many Green Arrow stories and adaptations, Oliver Queen's PTSD from his time away from home is heavily emphasized.
Deadshot's right eye is badly damaged (if not completely blind) in this version and his advanced Eyepatch of Power essentially serves as his artificial eye. In the comics and most media, his right eye is just fine and the advanced eye patch merely serves as a gadget for his job.
In this version, Slade Wilson kills his Evil Former Friend Billy Wintergreen by a brutal Moe Greene Special. Wintergreen never lost an eye in the comics.
Slade also chops off Anthony Ivo's right hand. Ivo was never mutilated in the comics.
Quentin Larry Lance suffers from a weakened heart after the battle with Deathstroke and his minions. His comic book counterpart, Larry Lance, had no such illness prior to his death (nor did he fight against Deathstroke).
Jefferson Jackson suffers a Career-Ending Injury thanks to performing a Heroic Sacrifice. He remains a healthy high school athlete in the comics.
Felicity Smoak requires glasses and becomes paraplegic later in the story and is only able to walk again thanks to a chip attached to her spine. She wasn't injured that way (if, at all) in the comics, nor did she have poor eyesight. (The page image shows a later comics version, who has glasses because she's based on the TV incarnation.)
Oliver chops off Malcolm Merlyn's right hand during their Trial by Combat. In the comics and most media, Merlyn's limbs are all intact. This is mitigated with Merlyn getting an Artificial Limb shortly after.
While Eliza Harmon/Trajectory is reliant on a speed drug in the comics, a side effect of her gaining Split Personality is added in this version.

However, his team's futuristic Cool Airship has advanced regenerative medical facilities that is eventually used to restore his hand. Legends also gave its version of Citizen Steel hemophilia.
In the comics' Bad Future Flash storyline, the future Wally West is dead. Here, he's Spared by the Adaptation and becomes paraplegic and shell-shocked. This storyline actually belongs to Iris in the comics, whereas here she's the one who is killed off.
The same Bad Future Flash storyline also features Vibe losing both of his hands, and then the use of his powers since he can't channel them through his Artificial Limbs. No such storyline happens to him in the comics.
Savitar is ultimately revealed to have suffered an Eye Scream, as shown by his right eye being discolored gray and surrounded by burnt skin. The comics Savitar never had such an injury, and neither did Future Flash, Savitar's true self.
