Are you able to work?
If your condition is critical enough that you are unable to work, you could be entitled to Social Security benefits under Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
MENTAL HEALTH DISABILITY CLAIMS
SSDI and SSI claims for mental health disabilities usually need to be based on accurate and carefully assembled medical records, since mental disorders cannot be proven with x-rays or blood tests.
The records can be difficult to interpret, especially if the proper diagnosis took years to establish, or the mental illness was complicated by issues such as drug or alcohol problems. People with a wide variety of mental illnesses do qualify for SSDI and SSI benefits.
More information is available on the following:
SEVERE DEPRESSION
BIPOLAR DISORDER
ANXIETY
You need to apply for Social Security benefits as soon as you and your doctors agree that you have a condition that will prevent you from working. Unfortunately, many people have to wait for a while to see what happens with their medical condition and treatment. During that time, people usually run into a great deal of financial trouble because of mounting medical bills, and inability to work.
