I think a big part of problem is the 'stigma' associated with invisible illnesses which makes it very easy to ignore, disbelieve or dismiss people suffering from them. Again awareness important but equally important to educate.

I think you are right that there are certain stigma to certain diseases.
But, I don't think it has to do with them being invisible.
Most diseases and conditions are invisible-can you see diabetes? can you see blood diseases?
I think it has more to do with those diseases being poorly understood. Which creates a viscous cycle. A poorly understood disease is dismissed because it is poorly understood and then less is done to try and understand it.
