Gathering Medical Evidence To Support Your Claim
Mental Conditions: Real Diseases With Debilitating Effects
The Social Security Disability system provides support to hardworking people whose permanent injuries and disabilities make it impossible to work. However, mental conditions, such as depression or PTSD can be difficult to prove.
Just because the physical effects of a mental condition are more difficult to see or prove doesn’t mean they are any less debilitating. Mental conditions often leave their victims with severe disabilities that make it impossible to maintain employment and earn a living. Common mental conditions that qualify for disability benefits include:
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Major depression and generalized anxiety disorder
- Bipolar disorder
- Schizophrenia
- Intellectual disabilities
- Personality disorders
- Substance addiction
- Autism
- Development disorders
- Fibromyalgia
