SSD Benefits for Depression
Often when people think of disabling conditions, the image of the worker with an injured back or some other physical limitation may come to mind. Not all disabling conditions are physical conditions. Mental health issues can be just as completely disabling as physical health issues.
Conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD and bipolar disorder can be used as a basis for Social Security Disability benefits for mental illness. These conditions can make it impossible for someone suffering from them to be able to carry out the responsibilities of a full time position.
At Olinsky Law Group, our New York SSD/SSI lawyers bring decades of experience to the benefit of each of our clients. We understand what it takes to prove to the Social Security Administration (SSA) that a disability such as depression, anxiety or bipolar disorder is actually preventing you from being able to hold substantially gainful full time employment.
Depression
Sadness and depression are a part of most people's lives from time to time. Being unable to carry on may be signs of something more serious.
Anxiety
Jobs, school and personal relationships can all be sources of anxiety. When the anxiety overwhelms you, it may be counted as a disability.
ADHD
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a problem with inattentiveness, over-activity and impulse issues. ADHD can have a huge impact on a child's education.
Bipolar Disorder
Rapid fluctuation of extreme moods can be disruptive to your ability to take care of your responsibilities.
All of these conditions may singly be the basis for an SSD/SSI claim. In a number of situations, these conditions may occur at the same time and create even more difficulties.
