SSDI for Mental Conditions

Chicago Lawyers Explain Social Security Disability Benefits for Mental Conditions

Mental illness can qualify you for Social Security Disability benefits, but it’s not easy. Even though your symptoms can severely impact your day-to-day, the SSA may not be able to see how you won’t be able to work. If you need help shouldering the burden of medical bills and the costs of living, it can seem like you have no place to turn. But there is hope.

Social Security’s Disability Requirements for Mental Conditions

Just saying you have a mental illness that is recognized by the SSA isn’t enough to get you the benefits you’re seeking. Your condition must be diagnosed by a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist. More importantly, you must also prove that your diagnosed condition is impacting your ability to work.

Some of the most commonly diagnosed mental conditions recognized by the SSA include:

  • Anxiety
  • Bipolar Disorder
  • Depression
  • Schizophrenia
  • Personality Disorders (such as paranoia)

The lawyers at Nash Disability Law will work with you to show the SSA that your diagnosed mental condition not only affects your ability to work, but also your day-to-day life. Contact us today to get a free case evaluation.
