SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY:

DEPRESSION DISABILITY

If you suffer from depression, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability and/or SSI benefits. Depression is one of the most common causes of disability. We have helped hundreds of people with depression obtain the disability benefits they need.

Do you qualify?
Under Social Security's rules, there are two ways that you can qualify for benefits if you have depression.

You are considered disabled if you meet the specific criteria set forth by Social Security in their listing of impairments. The list is quite specific and includes things like sleep disturbance, decreased energy, marked difficulties in maintaining social functions. Read the full list here.
Even if you don't meet the exact criteria, if your symptoms from depression interfere with working a regular full time job, you may be disabled based on the “medical vocational guidelines.” For example, if depression is causing you to need to sleep during the day, so that you miss work several times a month, you may be found disabled.
