Anxiety, Depression and Social Security Disability. A Lawyer's Advice.

- What does it take to win Social Security disability benefits when your condition involves depression and / or anxiety? This is perhaps the most asked question I get, so listen up.
As I discuss in this video, Social Security disability judges have become significantly more demanding when considering SSDI or SSI claims for claimants struggling with severe depression or debilitating anxiety.
In today's environment, a treatment record consisting of medication management from your family doctor will likely NOT be enough.
My experience has been that judges expect to see extended and consistent treatment with a psychologist and/or psychiatrist, inpatient hospitalization and multiple failed work attempts.
I am also finding that claimants under age 50 have more of an uphill battle.
But, that doesn't mean anxiety and depressions aren't important to your case. The secret is to properly organize these conditions along with your other debilitating ailments in the right way. It's not one thing, but all of them taken TOGETHER that greatly improve your chances of success.
If you need help with getting your case properly organized, and it included anxiety and depression, please reach out to me ASAP!

I've applied for SSI twice in one year and got denied both times for ptsd, anxiety, ocd, and depression. I can't even go out alone or function but ssi tells me I can still work. I can't even be productive with my own hobbies or anything I set out to do when I'm home and I have to stay in my room a lot to be alone because I get so exhausted seeing my family or anyone for that matter. I hate the government and I'm this complete burden on my family because I can't get an income. I don't even know what to do anymore. :(
You should hire an social security advocate. They’re out there, but it’s going to take some research. You can totally do this when you’re alone too :) good luck!
Did you end up applying again?
Move to Canada
Get a job , I have nocturnal grand mal seizures….my body doesn’t even fuakinggggg work how do you think I feel
Stop lying
Sad- I can function in society- but when I am home alone- I let myself cry, scream and I feel suicidal- there is no one there to help my "case". I think most depressed people keep their pain to themselves- because it's so embarrassing?
I'm very guilty of doing that. I put on a very convincing mask when I go out but I'm walking a fine line between numb and killing myself.
Your not alone
Feel better 💛
I feel your pain, but Remember, you are important to this world and loved by a heavenly father who is watching over you. Please when you're alone and feel like hurting yourself, call for help. Once you're gone you can't come back. Blessings and prayers ❤🙏
Hearing my own thoughts as if they were being spoken aloud.
Its like I'm being jumped by words I gotta scream STOP at the top of lungs tryna gain control as if im looking for the remote but the mute button broke. they breaking me down like I'm skating on thin ice they go and come back like bringing something back in style. Crying covering my ears to silence the sound. Get under my covers im scared of the dark feeling like a kid with monsters under his bed but they inside my head instead terrified curling up in a lil ball shaken knees to my chest .Repeating they're not real Hoping they go away. Worked when I was a kid long as I was brave enough to believe in myself. My courage came out from under my covers with my ears exposed all im hearing is the wind from the window not being closed. Eyes open room in silence if you was on the outside looking in watching you would just think i was talking to my self
. My mouth open thoughts on the tip of my tongue but no words come out. Family and friends say I should talk more. When the time is right and my courage finally shows up I go to speak its like my voice box broken. when I'm all alone this some of things that I deal with.
A poem was the only way I could answer the question of how im doing
I also say that social security disability wants to make it very hard for people who get depressed to get any help.
They wanna make it hard period in many many ways that's for sure.
The system is full of fraud.
Social security does discriminate,,its a shame money replaced human compassion!!!
Of course they favor minorities n crooks
@@redruby747 huh?
@@redruby747 For your funky information, some of the biggest crooks run the country while you talkin' slick. You lumpin minorities & crooks in one group? How dare you...

I didn't start seeing serious symptoms until I was in my late 20s and they were generally easy to deal with as I got more accustomed to this new way of life. I've since been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and my therapist has brought up multiple instances of abuse in my past that may have led to PTSD. I've been battling for help for the last 18 months and all I've gotten so far is that I need to adapt!
Depression, anxiety, PTSD... doesn't seem like a anyone really cares about these things unless you have a record of losing your mind or attempting suicide... and that is what is wrong with this system. You shouldn't have to prove suicide attempts to make a case... because in some cases, just by being told you aren't sick enough may be the thing that pushes you over the edge...
I’ve tried maybe between 5-8 jobs from the past 2 years and each one my anxiety and depression got in the way. I didn’t realize needing many unscheduled 10-15min breaks and missing work at least once per week were that serious. I even had a job coach and additional accomadations but still couldn’t perform my basic job duties. My meds from the past two years kept getting increased either in dosage or a stronger type. I don’t know why my health has suddenly gone downhill. I’m forced to resort to disability because of my numerous unsuccessful work attempts. I even tried using vocational help and still cannot do basic functions! It is awful. I really don’t want disability though I’ve applied-I want my previous job back and I don’t want my symptoms anymore. I wish there was a cure.
I just had my hearing for Depression. My lawyer said that I had a really good chance. I cried the whole time and couldnt even look at anyone in eye. The judge asked me why it took me so long to apply. That made me feel that she thought I should have filed a long time ago. They said it would take a couple of months before I will hear anything.
It sounds to me like you have a good chance at winning.
I hope you get it! Let us know! I have my hearing in little over a week for my PTSD, Bipolar, anxiety and depression. I’m nervous and have panic attacks just thinking about it.
melissa marques have you heard anything yet, I'd love to talk to you, hope you're doing ok
To me that sounds like a life saver. Congratulations and best wishes to you.
@@rascalragdoll182 how did it go? I have mine on memorial day.
I was diagnosed with severe ADHD as a child, then in my early teens I was diagnosed with clinical depression, when I turned 19 I was diagnosed with schizophrenia and was put in a institution until I turned 21. Was put on social security, I get 480 a month, no place to live, broke almost homeless. I feel as though I have no place in this world and society has abandoned me, just waiting to die.
Don't give up try to stay positive no matter what I feel the same I'm trying to stay alive and see the light at the end of my tunnel u can too hold on buddy
You're definitely right about the age bias. I'm 22 and have been trying to get a lawyer for my case and every single one turned me away and said I was too young.
Blep my lawyer took my case at 22 years old because I actually had a case, I was in a very bad car accident. My dominate arm from elbow down is paralyzed I also suffer from PTSD because I almost died during the accident...I’m 25 now. Though I’m not proud to say but I’m happy I’m finally on it.
Now I’m not saying you’re faking. But you’ll need more than “your word” for your illnesses. You’ll need continuous treatment at least twice a month. Valid and thorough medical documentation. And lists of medications you have tried or are on. I’m on a cocktail of medications. And it has taken me a few years to find the right combination for me. If you don’t have insurance....I applied for welfare before applying for disability and was expedited EBT and medical assistance..this was the start of my journey and medical assistance helped me get to my doctors and no copay for medication I need and food to hold me over. There are programs out there to help you. You need to utilize them before trying to seek disability. Disability should be the last resort.
This video was absolutely amazing and helpful. Thank you for making this available to the public. You answered all the questions I needed and more.
I agree.
It's very hard to get help for depression and anxiety. Especially if you're in your fities and sixties! Nobody truly understands this.
I can really relate and have experienced the anxiety and depression as well as presented with many of the scenarios you mentioned in your video. I have been diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Depression, as well as more recently Acute ADHD. I am on several medications both for my emotional and psychological shortcomings as well as other things related to genetic family history, high blood pressure, etc. I think I was able to convey to the judge (as well as present documented medical and job history records) that this has been a lifelong struggle and at almost 59 am just not up to continuing this struggle. I have an advanced education, but my confidence is shot as well as much of my short term memory. In short, I have always had poor coping skills. I just had my hearing a few days ago and spoke to a girlfriend close to my age with many health issues including kidney failure and she was turned down again recently. I am terrified I won’t get approved. I have been divorced many years and each year just gets more difficult. I am a Southern California native and now am living in a close to 30 year old RV. This would not be my choice if I felt I could change things, I’ve tried for way too long. I do try to make some income with my art, but it just seems real success always escapes my grasp. The so called “expert witness” felt I could do light duty, unskilled labor such as laundry room duties, or piecework. That actually couldn’t be further from the truth due to my lack of focus during mundane and repetitive work. My forgetfulness and lack of sequencing skills would cause far too many upsets. Those with ADHD are really only able to focus on things that interest them and stimulate the mind. I’m just wondering if there is anything more I can do while I wait for the suggested 2 month delay in the decision writers letter for the judge’s decision. Thanks ahead for any insight or suggestions.
I got mine on the first try. I applied for schizophrenia, bipolar, social anxiety and depression. I get $910 each month, it went up because I pay rent aswel.
missMumbleJumbo how
Melodie Mosley i applied online and also went to the social security place.
missMumbleJumbo how did it go up just because you pay rent?
How did it go up?
MeggzBott ??? How is yours 910?
I have been hospitalized at least 10 times for depression, anxiety and PTSD. been in group home. Been rough 10-11 different jobs in the last 5-6 years because I just cannot function. I stopped brushing my hair because I didn’t care and had to cut it. Attempted suicide. I want to live normally more than anything but I don’t know how. I’m scared of everyone bc of what happened to me when I was a kid. I hope that I’m not denied simply because I’m only 25. :/ I truly need the help and I’ve tried for years to work and hold a job but I just can’t and I hate it.
Destiny LauraJo I understand what you're dealing with .Ive learned to be to myself stay to myself and believe in nobody besides yourself.Best wishes stay strong love yourself.
Destiny I really pray that you get the help you need, Im so sorry ive been through this and am still going through this now. Im going through the mental health social security process as well. Have you seen a REAL CARING person like a therapist, Im only 34 and some of the therapists Ive seen have probably saved my life
I got denied 3 times between the ages of 19 and 28... Despite a well documented history back to the age of 5 with anxiety issues. Eventual diagnoses of ASPD, MDD, SAD, and anxiety becoming near constant when un-medicated.
The combination of these got me thrown out of school at age 14 and led to one hell of a fucked up adolescence, to put it lightly. Even after PTSD, nerve damage in various parts of my body, and partial paralysis of my dominant arm was added to my resume as a result of being stabbed over 20 times while at home sleeping in my bed, it made no difference to them.
I have never had a job for more than 6 months by age 20... And not more than 2 weeks through my 20s...
And none at all through my 30s.
I'm almost 40 now and made less than 20k in my entire life.
I collect no government assistance of any sort, not even food stamps.
(I guess I don't qualify because I'm a white American that was born here.)
I've spent nearly a decade in prison and jails, I have no family left, no friends, no life. Thankfully I don't feel pain.
I don't drink or use drugs anymore, aside from my prescribed meds. But that doesn't help or hurt anything.
I haven't driven in 20 years. I've never had a credit card or a bank account, or even a photo ID after the age of 20.
This fucking system is designed to just make you crazier... Don't give up though, you can always turn your burning anger and apoplectic rage outward. Provided prison and home are interchangeable to you... In my case, If I have 4 walls and something to sit on it doesn't matter where I am, I simply exist.... Not live.
Don't expect anything from a judge, unless you are missing some limbs or something they can physically see.
I think my problem is I'm articulate and appear perfectly normal. I have a 147 IQ, and scored a 1540 on my PSAT, and where did that get me? Nowhere at all and It just makes me that much madder every time I think about it.
... There's light at the end of every tunnel with the exception of my own... Mine must have been at the beginning.
according to what i just went through my first hearing, they look at whether you can work a full time job or a job that is gainful employment which in 2018 is about $1190 a month. If your conditions also result in more than 1 absentee a month at the job, you are considered disabled. also if your condition may result in death. that one is kind of weird because if youve especially been inpatient for suicide recently you would think that is enough. they look at all medical records so... you arent making it up. usually youre expected to have treatment while you wait for disability for like 1-2 years so you should have a lot of documentation from professionals saying you are not well enough to work.
of course how did your hearing go for you? Did you get approved?
I’m 27 and have PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, anxiety and am majorly depressed. I have my hearing in a little over a week. I’m so nervous that I get panic attacks over just thinking about it. I’m afraid of saying something that makes it seem like I’m not really disabled. I haven’t worked in 2 years because of my trauma, I rarely leave my room most days and avoid people as much as I can. I even have a hard time being around my family. I’ll go to my appointments (therapy and doctors) and can drive to them, but I have to go to places I’ve been familiar with for years. People look familiar to me and they know who I am. Any amount of stress makes me have anxiety and I collapse if it’s bad enough which doesn’t take much. (i.e. my sister’s kids can be loud while I’m trying to talk to my mom, who watches them, and my brain gets foggy, I hyperventilate and collapse.) I have issues speaking to others too. I get anxious, mind races and when I speak it goes all over the place. Most of the time I’m not even involved in a conversation and if it’s loud or negative, I get an anxiety attack. I have no control over my stress levels anymore. I use to tolerate a lot, but now I can barely deal with minor inconveniences. I want to be independent again and stop being a complete burden to others. I only can do appointments and such because I know I can walk out and it wouldn’t be a big deal, but you can’t do that at a job. I didn’t get enough to live off of before. Now I’d either miss too much work and not make enough for anything or get fired from missing. I also plan everything to make things as fast as possible so I can go hide again. I’d feel like getting out, but can’t because I wouldn’t feel safe and have anxiety of having purpose to go outside. Even if a friend tries to get me out of my room/house 95% of the time I talk myself out of it. This is no way to live. I haven’t told many people that I applied for disability. My dad told me to get over my trauma 2 days after it happened... He still grills me to work, but I can’t explain it to him well enough for him to support me. He is stubborn and has a “quit being a pussy” attitude. I’m praying this works out because I don’t think I can have people bare with me anymore. My sister is stressed out about money that she is considering kicking me out if I don’t start helping with bills. (I live with her, her kids, her fiancé and our mom.) I have no where else to go. She may not actually kick me out but she’d make my life a hell of a lot worse. It’s frustrating.
Very well done. My attorney covered the basics that you list and was approved on the first appeal. Still took about two years and closing retirement plans to get by.
At the very very beginning of this video I thought this video was not going to help because you said how difficult it is to be approved. However this video brought me to tears because I was able to relate deeply to the signs and what i personally have been doing to help myself. It gives me hope that I can find the help I need from other to live with my illness. Thank you for posting this!
i thank you for having made videos like these i was also evaluated significantly on mental capacity and mental health during my hearing which was also tied into my physical complications which are chronic in nature.
the judge i had did ask some hard questions i feel like he got what he needed to determine me as disabled an pressed the vocational specialist on the matter of sustainable work to which the reply was a "no, none applicable " three times for three different questions.
i am just waiting now to receive the decision notice, the wait has been.. a challenging experience thus far hoping i dont have to endure for too much longer
This was tremendously helpful. Thank you!
Dear Jonathan, thank you from the bottom of my heart for this fascinating video. I am going to be 58 years old and not only I suffer from depression, anxiety and panic attacks, but also a chronic back with sciatica. Your words have given me a lot of hope and encouragement. Please keep posting your videos as often as you do; they are medicine for one's soul.
Edwin, glad you find them helpful.
I've been dealing with severe depression and anxiety, panic attacks, flashbacks, nightmares, for 15 years, the last 3 have been the worse, I'm on all sorts of meds, I missed alot of work and eventually was terminated. I was at my job for 6 years and 2 years at my prior job. I've been unemployed for 6 months now, and I've lost everything. I'm 37 and I need help. I did 3 years of therapy along with meds, it didn't work I slowly got worse an worse. I lost my insurance, I've been off my meds for almost 3 weeks now. Hope I can get help soon. Thank you for your video.
Bless you for sharing you talent and time with us!
My pleasure - thanks for watching and for your comment.
Who the hell with serious anxiety can go to a hospital voluntarily? There are a lot of people there. Would be worse than going to the grocery store at peak hours.
Exactly!
Thanks for your video Jonathan. My 26 year old son was just approved by DDS yesterday. He has suffered with an eating disorder, major depressive disorder and anxiety disorder for the last 10 years, in and out of treatment centers all over the country, had to drop out of college and cannot hold a job due to the extremity of his condition. We are elated with the decision as he needs resources to live and help him with his condition. I have been his authorized representative throughout the entire process collecting and submitting medical and mental health records, doctor's visits notes, etc., and you are spot on regarding the need to demonstrate the severity of the case - that is key! One question I have is how is the benefit amount calculated and which office determines that? I called our local SSA office today but still waiting to hear back from them regarding what happens next.Tracy C.
Your videos are excellent. No wonder you Mr Ginsberg are enormously highly regarded in your field of lawyer expertise ! Your character tremendously reminds me of an Atlanta physician who is also very highly respected in the medical field for he too is incredibly intelligent , compassionate and knowledgeable at the top of his field. With out mentioning names, I'm sure you have heard of him. For his father , who has lately since past away , was Atlanta's leading doctors in psychology at Emory. He was a very good person and we all miss him.
I'm now 41 been seeing dr. Since my 20's , never kept a job long term. The longest I've ever been was 5yrs. I've been diagnosed Thyroids , Depression , Bipolar, Migraines, Anxiety and now Sleep Apnea. Every time I get stressed or overwhelmed at a job I've taken Stress Leave returned and went on it again and eventually quit due to the stress. I recently went to do the ssi dr. Evaluation and was asked if I was ever diagnosed with ADHD. With this being known I wonder if I still have a case or will they deny my appeal.
Thank you for making these videos. You're awesome. Wish you were in Houston.
My pleasure - glad you find them helpful.
i live in canada and i'm on disability right now 💗 thank you for your insight. ♡♡
I won with diagnosed anxiety, depression and OCD.
I also have inflammatory arthritis with nerve roof compression
I think each one separately, I would have been denied but together it qualified me
I think one thing that’s key is a therapist on your side that documents EVERYTHING. And definitely a doc that recognizes how serious it is and works with you on medications
You have to have a pattern of multiple days in a row doing what I called, taking a break. Basically giving up on life. You want to be able to clearly describe how it has impacted your daily life without being over dramatic
Sound advice - thank you.
I agree with you 100 percent. I had to wait two and a half years for my hearing. I was approved at my hearing. Best advice I can give anyone is see a shrink and make sure they document everything. And a good lawyer.
I'm just researching my options but unfortunately I already "check off" well more than half these things. The only two I don't is I'm 25 and my job history isn't bad. Granted that's because I go for low stress jobs but even then I struggle. I'm hoping a shift in my medication dosage will make things better. Good luck to everyone out there, you're far from being along in this struggle.
Opinion, I had just commented on your video about trying to know of certain phrases/questions between the judge and the voc rep. Here are some of my ... qualifying ... symptoms. I have had.. 7 psych ward stays in a matter of a year and half, going 3 months almost to the day in that time frame. I've been on..geez.... tons of psychotropic and depression meds. My diagnoses are borderline personality disorder, Bipolar 1 with mania: psychotic episodes. PTSD, anxeity disorder, paranoia, insomnia..the list goes on.
And I'm typing this while listenig..and yeah.... I think I have a high chance of winning. I had..um two crying spells DURING the hearing, one right before. Even told the judge straight up I had to take my rescue does of kolonopin, or I wouldn't have been able to even talk. Again THANK YOU. You don't even have to answer me at this point. I am SO THANKFUL. I know there is still a chance to be denied, but with what was said at the hearing yesterday, and the considerations for someone needing disability due to mental illness, I feel like I can breath a bit better today. I went to bed crying, just hear that, there are NO jobs where I live that would accommodate my ... well, short fuse issues. God bless. Keep it up!
Jennifer, based on what you say, it sounds like you have a very good chance at a favorable decision.
This is very helpful as I've had to leave a grocery store without any food because of sudden anxiety .
Thank you again. I am 51. All the meds that you mentioned I am on. Physical therapy twice a week. You are a great encouragement
Hello I need help
With my bad depression... Every day I deal with it...
Thank you
Literally everything Johnathan stated in this video I have. I'm diagnosed with bipolar,anxiety,mood disorders, intermittent explosive disorder been seeing mental doctor once a month for 3 years & case worker twice a week for 3 years, dbt therapy. Only applied for disability due to debilitating issues with being afraid of learning new things,struggle immensely on comprehending things may eventually get there if shown & explained multiple times without losing there patience if not then would obviously trigger my panic attacks & anxiety of not being good enough which leads to fright to flite mode which led to losing multiple jobs, in which it was my doctors & case worker who advised me & my very supportive girlfriend that they strongly suggested I apply for disability which has costed very hard sacrifices from family & most of all my girlfriend, costed me my at one point perfect credit & credit score having to survive on my cc's & family support because everyone was in agreement that this was the right path for me because of the obvious struggles of my mental illnesses. So I got an attorney long story short got declined first 2 times which they say is typical & appealed to see judge which was today & he declared a mental evaluation ce...even know the 3 years of being on several different prescriptions trying to find right balance etc. Which many have very very hars side effects to manage a normal life such as tiredness, lack of energy, nausea just to name a few. But even according to Jonathan's video & the comment section of these particular evaluations they seem to be absolutely bias & a way to justify a denial of benefits..a 15min to 1hr+ is suppose to override 3 years of dialogue & courses & consistent taking of prescriptions even drug test records & blood level tests ect. And that wasn't enough for a judge to deem enough evaluation in itself & after reading the experiences of others & Jonathan's testimony of what to expect it doesn't seem fair what so ever to take true daily life struggles of real situations & have according to many people's comments that these tests that are maybe not difficult to many could show the examples of for example of like I stated before such as instructions to learning new things at a job that are completely flying over your head, or buying a piece of furniture from a walmart & reading the instructions & you can't even comprehend where to start mise-well well be a different language. So my opinion according to this particular video even if you have literally like I've stated you can gave all the qualifications that even Johnathan has said he'd like to have before taking on this particular case can still lead you to what my judgment was & eventually might fall victim to the same exact experience & frustration of many in Johnathans mental health evaluation video😤🤦♂️. Just seems to me to find a more legal way to just say we don't care & we will not prioritize your health or your wellbeing of a person of human society. Hope my frustration comment help someone else who has been down the same lonely path of what appears to be resistance of wanting to help, and people are continuously surprised that mentally I'll people either take there own lives or do crazy insane things out of frustration because even when they do seek help doors seem to always shut on those individuals like myself & worse use one time 15min to 1hr evaluations to justify it. Also would like to end that if it wasn't for my girlfriend who is very loving & supportive I wouldn't of even made it to this point because of my fears of not knowing how or how to respond or comprehend these types of endless forms & wording that only a normal functioning human being could handle, so think of how many people who don't even have a supportive cast at all!?!? Think about it...god bless you all🙏🇺🇸⚖💞
Don't believe that mental shit how is a little money ssa gonna fix your damn briane y got a girl friend and can deal with that go to work Me 62 two back surgery fused also my neck retired got ssdi. 1600 a month. Got it in 6 months been a good tax payer since i was 14 yrs old that's how it is done!!
9 days until my SSDI hearing. I'm so nervous I could pass out. It's such a long process even if I got seen 6 months early.
have my hearing in 3 weeks, have been waiting since 2016.
This video is exactly what I needed
I went to the local county ran mental clinic I saw a shrink and I was one on one counseling with a counselor I was in group therapy every week was on seroquel prozaz and two others and you don't have to pay I also had 3 inpatient stays before approval and two more since being APPROVED
I did thank you very much this information was was great
You are welcome.
I have been working for 12 years, never taken a break except maybe 2 weeks to a month in between switching jobs. I’m 30, I’ve suffered from migraines since I was 12. I tried to commit suicide once when I was 17. I feel like there is no point to life, I contemplate suicide but I love my kids and that’s the only thing keeping me from doing it. All I want to do is sleep, I dread work, I’m constantly calling off I’m surprised I haven’t been fired yet. I’m seeing a psychiatrist this week, I can’t take it anymore. Recently I was even hearing voices in my head, scared the crap out of me, they were there everyday and wouldn’t let me sleep at night. I feel I’m at the end of my rope. Not until I stumbled on this video did it ever occur to me that I might be able to take a long break from work and be able to receive benefits. But even my HR department gave me cards to see a doctor and get help, do you think I have a case?
Extreme anxiety can drop a person with a heart attack, so they shouldn't be so quick to deny people; I wonder how many have died after being turned down for benefits? I thought anxiety was a non-physical illness but it's not. Everyone cannot take tranquilizing meds and have ANY functionality left, for some, pain meds all bring vomitting for a day and a half, some like me would have no quality of life left if we buckle to taking meds pushed for our ailments by doctors and SSA evaluations/expectations. I'm 59 and it would greatly deteriorate my overall health to even go on the customary anxiety and pain meds for 2 years.😔
Helpful information
I have both of these disorders and i got disability right off but i had a complete physical from my dr. I also have other disorders on my phys report i sent everything in and got approved immediately.
I am wondering if these approvals and denials vary from state to state? I am now on my second lawyer and my disability list is a little lengthy. Battling severe major depression, Diabetes, stage 3 ckd, CAD, heart attack, macular edema, retinopathy, peripheral neuropathy, foot neuropathy, disequilibrium syndrome and carpal tunnel syndrome in both wrists and elbows But the social security admin. says that there is nothing wrong with me. I have been denied a total of 6 times now. Could possibly be just a simple matter as having dealt with a bias judge? Who knows. But I am happy to read that you were approved right away.
They do vary from state to state each state has there own guidelines for approval I have my first hearing this coming Thursday for my adhd depression anxiety an carpal tunnel have had depression since 2016 no meds help some make it worse but I already feel like ill be denied if so I don't know what ill do
+corvetteguy 1975 (michigan_mudman) I hate depression meds, yuk. xanax works for me, it's just I forget to take it and get all anxious :/

corvetteguy 1975 no it doesn’t vary from state to state....it’s a federal program. The rules and regulations are the same for each state. The only thing that is different is the monthly pay for SSI for each state. I’m sorry for all the bad luck. I’m just happy I had good doctors that correctly recorded my situation and issues. I strongly feel if my doctors didn’t encourage/supported me to apply I wouldn’t have gotten it.
Its so Fed up cause I could work better without a arm or a leg then I do (and I try) with anxiety. Its a nightmare. But because I can work a little, no way can I get help. I can do a 12 dollar a hour job maybe 25 hours a week. Thats all I can handle. Because of that everythings just perfect with me to the Gov. I understand its hard for the outside to realize how messed up anxiety (real deal anxiety, not normal) can be. But how does one live off working a 25 hours week at 12 a hour. Maybe put my sister in debt? & live nearly homeless. All just cause I can do things, its so hard to explain. I know I cant get any help, and its a joke in this 1% sick rich country. Put it this way. If not for anxiety id of had a 60 grand per year job by now. Instead its survival at 48. People ask how can you play guitar or games? Well im not dead, and doing life things is still possible, that's why its hard to explain. Been hiding it since 21. But have been seeing & umder medicin since. And Ive never ever am fully me 70% of the time. Its just a mess that cant be fixed. Most get it post college, thus they can edge out 30 grand a year job once anxiety hits them. Hit for me, was it hit me pre collage and I couldnt do it. Then I stayed home but was out some. Would only do small hour jobs, never learned a trade. Parents die, Im then really struggeling. No marriage, thus no partner income. Its been survival by a string. But to the outiside, I look normal to most, just with bad luck or I dont push. Mostly cause I hide the anxiety from everyone as best I can, cause its shameful to me too. But I shouldnt be living like this if things were right. But? Its messed up.
I totally understand!
I understand as well and I wish that you are blessed.
I totally get what you are saying. I'm 36 and my dad just died. I don't get how I'm supposed to get by. I never even had a job. Its like they expected me to be constantly be begging doctors for help when I can hardly go out and can't drive. I find my anxiety deeply shameful. I know this lawyer is just trying to helpful but I feel even more hopeless now
I got approved in 2015, took 6 months+, spent 8 months in the hospital for MDD
How did it go
Thank you from Toronto 🍁
I tried 3 times already for my ssi. I was hospitalized for suicidal thoughts/plans, always sleeping, never talked much, avoided social gatherings, could only do short drives due to my anxiety, and I have had over 10 jobs in the past 5 years unable to hold one down longer than a few months. 6 months at most recent.
I did all of them broke my back in 1990 dad died 2 months later worked with broke back to take care of my dad frozen waiting on some one to finish the deal I did then 3 years ago I had a vessel bust in my head 2 years later I get it I'm 61 now have I played my dues I hung and finished drywall for 45 years worked in Kmart Wal-Mart kas and Larry panty pride picked orange shine shoes delivered groceries on foot at 10 built houses what a run I've had and still clicking lol
Yea I tried talking to therapist but that shit dident help and now I’m 18 and it’s not better especially when my grandpa killed him self 4 years ago
@Jeff Watson - Why would you say that.
Me too I only had 4 jobs in my whole life I'm 27 my first one I was in high school that last for about 3 months my other job it took me 3 years to find stayed at that job 5 months then I took me 4 years to another job and i last 4 months then i took me a few months after that job to find the one I'm at and I've been with them for 6 years only reason I been with them that long is because its part time and seasonal I only work 2 or 3 times a month and some months not at all but now I dont know if I can keep doing it because my boss was trying to fire me a few months ago plus my baby is taking a even bigger hit
I’m a walking example of this...however I have held a job since I was 22 somehow. Not sure how much longer I can cope, though.
I am 42 year going 42 an going on 43 and I applied for social security . I have all these issue and depression, mdd, anxiety, ptsd and plus. I was denied the first time. I am work with Myler Disability and have a upcoming court date. I am worried of getting declined again, I just quit me job due to pressure with customers and come coworkers..... anyway I take three to for type of medication. I can't socialize with other I keep myself Isolated all the time and have living my house. My husband tried help me out of it but just the paranoid feeling I be having just gone even crazy. I can't go to groups cause I hate being around people so closely or if i DO I can problably stick around for a few hours and gotta go. if that...anyway thanks for the video. GOOD INFORMATION.
How did it go?
I filled today. I have ASPD, PTSD, and Bipolar. My Dr tried a few medications for Bipolar but my ASPD got worse. She told me that there is no other medication that I can try. My mind is a living hell, and now I have to except that it's not going to get any better.
How would agoraphobia and ptsd, fall into this?
What do you do, when none of your supervisors will reply to contact, or the company is no longer around to contact?
How would you respond to a question of "if it's so bad that you just lay in bed, why not just end it?", or if you are depressed no matter what you do "why not work any way since it is bad no matter what?"
I just received my first denial. I'm 30 years old and was locked in my home for 6 years do to my anxiety. Finally broke out and been seeing a therapist and psychiatrist. Was diagnosed with PTSD, Panic Disorder with agoraphobia. Depression etc. but still very hard for me to walk out my front door. Just go out to see my doctors. But I feel my mental department is failing me. They did not send in any info to ssi. Thinking about changing to a diff location. SSI said I was fine and could work. Even though I been living in hell since I was 18.
I deal with this issue frequently - when a medical provider does not send in medical records. It can be very frustrating.
i had same issue
Social Security Disability videos Jonathan Ginsberg law office tel number
Junior Lopez First, I love you brother. You're not alone. Second, I am the same. I see my mental health doctor in the morning. And they are going to help me with SSDI. I am 29 and have had easily 50 jobs. I can't keep a job to save my life. I hallucinate visually and auditory. Over stimulated and anxiety goes through the roof and panic attacks. Crying uncontrollably. Depression. Manic. Like a million more things. Ugh. Makes me just want to die. I hope you got approved.
Social Security Disability videos I went to that same thing they ask the doctor in March to please give medical records about my anxiety and depression the judge had to do a subpoena for the doctor to give me my records you gave our records end of September my advocate had to put in some information and here it is he gave that information to the judge by October 13th now I'm just waiting for his decision oh boy I have been waiting for a long time
I'm dealing with a panic disorder and it had evolved into a bit of agoraphobia. I filed for disability over a year ago, was denied and I appealed. I do have more evidence this Time I think, a therapist I see bi weekly, as well as a psychiatrist who has prescribed me medications to try to get it under control. I'm scheduled for another ce exam for mental health at the end of the month, but was told I may not need it, dependant on my psychiatrist? Maybe his records are sufficient, perhaps is what he is saying. I'm not sure. This has been a difficult road and I don't have an attorney. If I get denied again I guess I'll need to hire one
I have been trying to get disability on and off for 30 years, i have my hearing before a judge in 3 weeks (been waiting 2 years for this appointment) and i hope i am finally "disabled" enough with C-PTSD and dissociative disorder to be approved
Best of luck to you. It is a difficult process.
I don't need sympathy I need money
Lol
Your information was very helpful were going through these things with our son and everything you said we put down on his report but he was still denied this the 2nd time we applied for him what different can we put down that has already been said and report it? I guess because like I said hes 20 years old but hes always had problems so what can we do now?
What about someone who's been through multiple traumatic experiences? 😢😭💔and physical trauma also...
It depends on how these trauma impact your capacity for work, the type of treatment you are receiving and the type of support you can get from your doctors.
Would paxil be considered a heavy duty antidepressant?
I've never been hospitalized but I avoid crowds and have odd routines to get through the days. I am on multiple prescriptions and have been taking them since I was 5 and I'm 39 now. I often don't shower for days. I sleep all the time and have very hard time socializing even with my girlfriend.
I hope my hearing will go through my best the ability
i can't afford a therapist. i tried going a few times when my ex would pay for it, my parents refused to help me ever. even when i tried killing myself when i was 10. they are, however, more than happy to help my older sister and financially support her. they kicked me out as soon as i had a job, and i've had to struggle with shitty relationships (the people themselves were horrible and i have really bad anxiety with boyfriends), to keep a roof over my head. i'm currently working fulltime, but i have multiple breakdowns a week, i cry at work for no reason, i think about killing myself everyday. i'm currently on zoloft, and it's making me feel worse, but i'm scared to talk to my doctor about it, cuz i don't want to get locked away for 72 and lose my job, and have to pay a huge hospital bill (that no one will help me with).............. i also have hashimoto's, which makes me feel insanely tired, and i'm getting to the point of where i'm scared i'm going to get fired or i'm going to snap and run away and live in my car until i can get disability.
U can go to your local county ran mental health clinic with no money
The state pays for it at zero cost to u
I had to fill out a complete disability review update to continue to get disability 4 years ago. I had to describe my daily activities, what doctors I see, what meds I been on, etc. I always keep a list of meds I been on and my doctor appointments in my phone. I had to use sheets of paper to describe my conditions. I got approved again for disability. Good luck to anyone trying to get disability.
I gave up trying to get SSI and Disablityinsurance.
Curious how applying for SS correlates with a disability rating through the VA. If you receive benefits can you still work?
What if one is in his late 60's?
What happens if my pcp says I can work but psychiatrist says I can’t?
Wats a low or high douse to social security for anxiety and depression
My work history isn't so great because of my depression, anxiety, panic disorder, and PTSD, which every single one has made a struggle to maintain any job.
Have this history of Illnesses for 5 years now, and I seen 2 counselors, and currently have a psychiatrist, can they help me file for my disability as well?
Medications: I take two currently, was on three medications but now down to two because one of them caused fatigue and headache.
What do you suggest?
I apply myself or have a medical professional do it? Thanks in advance!
I can't afford treatment and AvPD prevents everything im supposed to do in life which also prevents me from getting treatment. Which is needed for disability. Ugh.
I still check in and agree
Your explaing alot about me and my situation. Drs didnt hold up their end on my case. They leave out way to much. I was denied even though they are the ones who told me to file. Im so devastated. Im so screwed.
Sheesh I've been bed ridden for over 2weeks and finally took my first shower yesterday. I didn't socialize either nor did I go anywhere for weeks.Finally I dragged myself out of bed (last minute by the way) to go pay my rent. I couldn't even look at the person who took my money order bc I was filled with social anxiety. I was hungry and went to get food and it was so uncomfortable asking for what I wanted. I went straight home after that couldn't take being outside any longer. Do I need social security??? P.S. I'm in my mid 30s. N not on meds. Sure can use some Xanax right about now.
Me too beautiful I am going through this
I haven't showered in 4months i have had no desire to do anything at all whatsoever for 5yrs now.
what should I include in my theory of disability? Is it like an overview type of statement or is that the time to say.... this is where I hurt and these are my symptoms?
thank you so much for all your great videos, they are very informative and helpful :)
LaWayne, take a look at this blog post, which I published today - www.ssdanswers.com/elevator-speech-social-security-disability/
thank you so much for the blog, it was very very helpful!
so, if I have several illnesses.. I should focus on most severe, for example.. my severe Interstitial Cystitis and my back issues rather than mention my depression/anxiety and other issues?
thank you so much for your time and all your help!
What about treatment resistant depression? Going all the way up through MAOI and nothing is effective?? almost 20 yrs of documentation/trying (I’m now going to your 2020 video) you are smart to do this could be a serious timesaver as an attorney to be able to refer your clients to watch links, I’m going to pass this onto mine
what if you have depression and hashimoto's disorder AND myoclonic involuntary movements and a story of workplace bullying for being different?
they tell u to find a job where people are not like a desk job.. ssdi is very hard to get..
MORE DIFFICULT? This is absolutely crazy... no pun intended!! I tried a few years back and had 7yrs great doctors records and twice-monthly therapist records for 7yrs and took 6+ meds for 7yrs and I also am a disabled vet and I had a great lawyer AND I STILL DIDN'T GET IT!! What's the hope in trying again?
SuperEvilC I'm applying now, can I ask what you were diagnosed with? Thanks!
how do you as the attorney get paid if the disability case is accepted right away, and there is no back payment scheduled to be paid out,,, ???
What about lithium, Latuda and amytriptaline?
Is it possible to apply for SS Disability retroactively? I retired early because I couldn't sit for long periods of time, nor stand for long periods of time, and just getting from the parking lot to my desk was a major struggle. Both knees have been replaced, sciatica and peripheral neuropathy, and several lower back issues with evidence on MRI and CT scans. I was not aware that I could apply for disability...never even occurred to me..just figured I would retire at 62 and take a lower payment.
Can you do a video over chronic sinitus chronic rhinitis and if it matter if you ever been in the military ?
I'm 60 hospitalized in the last 3 years on anti-anxiety meds for 15 years and 3 blood pressure meds partially due to anxiety, worked up until May and another failed job attempt. Was told 3 years ago to file for disability because I was working for a behavioral health company and couldn't even do that, but they didn't give me disability and I only filed the first time then went back to work for several failed attempts. Now I'm falling, and have had two TIA's in the last three years...fell on my last job and a ladder fell on me...but i'm filing on the mental disability. I've been the victim of two violent crimes...one a gunpoint robbery at my job, by a man who is now in a federal prison for robbing multiple people after me...so, I mean, I also have PTSD so why didn't I get disability? I've filed again, cause after this last attempt and the fall, and another fall after that...I'm done, it's just too risky...
Cindy, the diagnosis does not determine disability. You have to prove that your symptoms and medication side effects prevent you from reliably working a full time job. This is increasingly difficult with a medical condition like PTSD where there is no way to objectively measure your condition.
why can't they measure it by the jobs i've lost in the last 10 years? by calling them and asking them what happened? can they?
@@cindytreadway5999 NO OFFENSE CINDY BUT YOU'RE EXPECTING SSA TO DO EXTRA WORK TO APPROVE YOU??? BECAUSE WHY...YOU'RE SPECIAL??? C'MON GIVE ME A BREAK!! YOU NEED TO GET THE AFFIDAVIT FROM YOU'RE EMPLOYER DISCUSSING THE PROBLEMS YOU HAD PERFORMING YOUR ROLE AND HOW YOU WERE UNSUITABLE. DISABILITY IS NOT ABOUT THE DISORDER ITS ABOUT PROVING THE DISORDER PREVENTS YOU FROM DOING SGA-SUBSTANTIALLY GAINFUL ACTIVITY AKA A JOB. IF YOU CAN SIT DOWN AND TYPE ON A COMPUTER FROM A HOME YOU MY DEAR ARE ABLE TO WORK ACCORDING TO SSA!
I've been fired from multiple jobs, mainly because I break down at work crying all day, or missed multiple days of work because i can't get outta bed. I shower about 3 times a week, hardly eat, can't keep a job, am broke, have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I'm currently off my meds because I lost my old job from which I had insurance for said meds. I've lost atleast 3 jobs because of my depression and anxiety. I've never filed for SS and am 27 years old. Would I have a case?
Maybe. But at 27 you will have an uphill battle, especially if your meds do control your symptoms. See www.ssdanswers.com/winning-mental-health-disability/ for my take on what is working in 2018 for mental health cases.
Im homebound from agoraphobia since childhood.Im suppose to be under or SSDIThey threw me on SSI.I dont even get enough to pay rent .Im borrowing money.im 62 years old,i never worked still homebound ,and i have other medical health problems now.
My girlfriend is in her mid-late 30s. Can she get social security disability? We are at the waiting for a hearing with an administrative law judge phase. The initial claim and request for reconsideration were denied. So nervous she's going to get denied again.
She's been out of work for about 18 months now and has been seeing a psychiatrist and a psychologist about those 18 months as well. She's been taking various anti depressants but has been resistant to all of them so far. They either do nothing or nothing + bad side effects. She hasn't taken many different ones I guess because her psychiatrist is kind of a dummy. She sees her psychologist every two weeks and her psychiatrist every month and we have documentation of this too. We also have a neuropsych report she had done about a year ago. I also had to just take her to go to a psychiatric hospital today because she started to get very suicidal and told me that she was going to shoot herself with her mom's or stepdad's gun.
As for the "home front" stuff (rather than doctor visits) she sleeps at least 8 hours at night (or at least lies in bed 8 hours a night) but then sleeps another 3-4 hours during the day. She doesn't clean up the house much even though I'm at work all day and she's not. We used to play lots of video games together or watch movies etc but even a lot of that is hard to do because she's so miserable most of the time she takes interest in almost nothing. Like I said, even video games/TV shows/movies, one of what should be the most easily enjoyable activities. She's usually able to drive herself to psych appointments but that's mostly because they take place when I'm at work. But for other stuff like grocery shopping I do that for her. She can't even go out for that. She doesn't really socialize outside the home either, though she never did that much anyway because she's not much of a social butterfly as is.
I have a question I do have pretty severe depression I take meds for.. but for me my biggest struggle is dealing with depression and fibromyalgia.. I’m always feeling exhausted my body is in pain all day I get relief by drinking many 800 ibuprofen other than that, I’m in pain from my neck down.. on top the depression.. I don’t know if that’s a reason for disability but I can assure I have no energy I want to work just don’t know how.. thank you Johnathan
I hear you, I've been there and still struggling. Be careful with the ibuprofen, it can damage your stomach - this happened to me. At age 44, my gastroenterologist told me I can never take ibuprofen, naproxen, or aspirin for THE REST OF MY LIFE. This is because if the severe inflammation these meds caused in my stomach and upper intestine.
PTSD panic disorder bipolar disorder major depressive disorder and anxiety been denied have loads of medical records going to appeal I didnt do the mrfca form and trying to get a lawyer
What about when you have SEVERE SLEEP APNEA? that's what I have and doctors informed me that it causes really bad depression especially for having severe sleep apnea which is the worst type of sleep apnea. I had no idea my depression had anything to do with my sleep apnea problem.
This is making it seem pretty hopeless for my case. I avoid social situations with strangers like the plague. I take my garbage out very late in my apartment so I won't have to have anyone see me. My family takes my laundry so i don't have to deal with others. I'm 36 left school when I was 15 because it got to be too much. I lived with my dad for 18 years in subsidized housing. He died recently, I just don't understand what I have to do to convince others that I have a real problem.
I am 22, pregnant woman. I was diagnosed with depression, OCD, GAD and panic disorder since I was 9 years old. At that age, I was on prozac. I have been in treatment on and off for about 9 years, where I have been switched to other meds. I was admitted to an inpatient facility at the age of 17. I have had over 25 jobs lasting no longer than 7 months due to panic disorders and emotional instability. Being pregnant I can no longer take any meds for these conditions either. Is thus not significant enough since I'm not in my 40's?
I also suffered with mental disabity since birth.My condition got worst in I was little and through my teens.I was cut off from ssi when 18 teen yrs old.I try reply and was denied.It shouldnt havent stopped.Because my condition was permenant.It took later in my mid 30s got it.I had question their reason of denial all these years.Do I have a case on this matter?
I have anxiety and when I get upset I have panic attacks and can't breathe!
Can you do a video on federal court ssi case for anxiety depression and education
I will put on my list.
@@ssdattorney Thank You!
What makes me mad, is i tick EVERY BOX other than one: age. Im 20. Ive spent my entire life since i was 4 years old. four. Fighting depression and anxiety. Ive been on all kinds of drugs, Prozac has come and gone and come again. Ive been in an inpatient program multiple times for sucide attempts and just general depression. Ive been unable to hold a job since highschool after leaving a full time position where i worked several months. I cannot keep a job because i have anxiety attacks, im afraid to go into any public area alone, and doinf so often leaves me unable to do what i needed anyway as im having a panic attack. I am afraid to talk to others, even some of my loved ones. TmI but i typically dont shower for a week or more because i cant get myself out of bed. I will lay for days with no motivation to even think about moving. Yet, even after all of this, just because "im young, i can handle it" i wouldnt get approved. And that right there is f***ed up.
Emily it is true that younger claimants have an uphill battle but I have won several severe depression/anxiety cases for younger claimants. This past month I represented a young lady whose functional impairments sound like yours and the judge announced a favorable bench decision.
Oh wow! That is incredible. After watching your videos I would have hope that someone like you may be able to actually help, however cost to afford anyone is beyond my reach. Perhaps someday I can save enough to try! By then I might be older anyway seeing as how I don't make anything.
Emily Steffen Emily, I couldn't afford a lawyer if I had to pay up front, but I believe most lawyers that do this kind of work will take their pay out of your payment if u are approved, that's why these lawyers won't take someone's case unless they think you have an excellent shot at being approved
I’ve been in the shadows for years just fighting by myself never been to th hospital or doctor for that because I feel like they’re not going to help and The system is going to put a mark on me for life.
I’ve been in and out of jobs since i was a teen I stopped going to school on 10 grade cus i wasn’t able to concentrate or to deal with anything at all now I’m considering on applying for disability but I fear that they’re not going to give it to me.
I need help before is too late
I had my hearing yesterday. I will tell you I never realized how hard it would be to win. I had a hard time. You will not win without good documentation and medicine. Lots of it.
I created an online account @ mysocialsecurity.gov to keep track of my claim. My claim is at the determination stage. One for SSI and one for SSDI. The SSDI says determined/approved. Is this a good sign? I haven't received anything in the mail yet but It says a letter has been mailed....
Any approval is a good thing.
Yes, I think you are approved, the letter to inform you is merely delayed in the mail.
Mara Huckeba
Approval Letter means yes. Benefits should follow very quickly. Possibly a one time lump sum check if you put in significant work time, followed by monthly benefits. Every case is unique. Good luck with all of this. It isn't easy, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Hey how long did it take to process and what's your disability if you don't mind me asking
In 2010 my boyfriend was in a single vehicle rollover accident & ejected from it onto the highway. He spent almost 2 months in a medically induced coma after being Life Flighted to Houston's Memorial Traum Hospital. He broke all ribs on the right side, completely tore his right shoulder, and had surgery for a Pneumothorax, removed rib fragments, and 1/3 of his right lung. He also sustained a head injury. I feel strongly that he has post concussion syndrome also. He applied for disability and was denied in 2011, I think. In February, 2018 he finally had major reconstructive surgery on his right shoulder through Walker County's indigent health care program. He has been going to physical therapy 3 times a week, and was told it would be a slow process. He has been unemployed for 2 years. What is his next step??
We live in Texas. I have done some research and found that he should establish himself with workforce solutions to begin documenting his case and having tests done, etc.. Is this correct?? He is diabetic, has high blood pressure and sleep apnea. Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,

I have severe P.T.S.D .I have applied 3 times for ssi . now I work a job that makes my P.T.S.D WORSE. with no health insurance offered . so now what ?
shit out of luck government dont care
What if you have Anxiety, Panic Attacks and Agoraphobia due to fear of over heating in public. I go to therapy and refuse medication because just the thought of taking pills even scares me because my Salivary gland doesn’t function properly due to Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia (I can’t sweat and need to be in a temperate controlled environment at all time, I can't handle over 75F weather). I have Type 2 diabetes also and take liquid metformin to control it and I get dehydrated a lot because I don't know when I'm thirsty. I’m asking because I was denied by a ALJ last week and need to file an appeal. I don’t know what I did wrong but the thought of going outside in public scares me. *I’ve passed out in public before too and even had 2 jobs in the past and couldn’t handle it.
???? i recently read the paper work and saw that my mother was approved for supplemental income.....and also recieved her disability but her ss income ate it up ....shes eligible for her back pay for both but now that one is canceled they say she'll still be awarded ....how does this work
I have been tryi g for aleast five years
