The two different aspects makes sense to me, too. I've thought about it kind of in terms of disease and disability -- with the disability being something that you were born with and/or resulting from accident or trauma. For both kinds of physical problems you go to a doctor but with one there is medicine, with the other some type of "surgery" may be an apt description.
What has seemed to me to be missing is the habilitation. So even with therapy, lacking socialization of newly uncovered responses, people (like me) fail socially, causing additional "illness" in terms of depression, anxiety, etc.
