If you\u2019re struggling to apply or have already been denied, call us today at (248) 281-4247<\/a> for a consultation.<\/p>\n SSDI is a federal program that provides benefits to people who cannot maintain gainful employment due to a severe, long-term disability. While many think of disability as a physical injury or illness<\/a>, mental disorders are also recognized by the Social Security Administration (SSA). To qualify, your condition must:<\/p>\n The SSA maintains a \u201cBlue Book\u201d that lists impairments considered for disability benefits, including many mental disorders. Even if your condition is not specifically listed, you may still qualify if your symptoms are equally severe.<\/p>\n The SSA recognizes a wide range of psychological and psychiatric disorders that can interfere with daily functioning and work. Some of the most common include:<\/p>\n Severe, persistent depression or bipolar disorder can make it difficult to maintain employment. Symptoms such as loss of interest, inability to concentrate, sleep disturbances, and suicidal thoughts are taken seriously by the SSA.<\/p>\n Generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may qualify if they significantly interfere with your ability to focus, interact with others, or manage stress at work.<\/p>\n Conditions that cause hallucinations, delusions, or disorganized thinking can prevent individuals from performing even simple work tasks. These disorders are among the most commonly approved under SSDI.<\/p>\n For adults, autism that limits communication, social interaction, and adaptability may qualify. The SSA evaluates how well an individual can function independently in daily life.<\/p>\n Dementia, traumatic brain injury, or other cognitive impairments that affect memory, problem-solving, and decision-making may be considered disabling under SSDI.<\/p>\n Severe personality disorders, such as borderline or antisocial personality disorder, may qualify when they lead to repeated episodes of dysfunction in work and social settings.<\/p>\n This is not a complete list. If your mental health condition keeps you from earning a living, it\u2019s worth speaking to an experienced attorney about your options.<\/p>\n Even with medical evidence, mental health claims are often denied initially.
